The Stennetts of England - Samuel Stennett D.D. - Hymn Poems

Let others boast of wealth or power

Let others boast of wealth or power,
   And glory in their pride;
Thy word, O God, we value more
   Than all the world beside.

Here mines of knowledge, love, and joy
   Are open to our sight,
The purest gold without alloy,
   And gems divinely bright.

The counsels of redeeming grace
   These sacred leaves unfold,
And here the Saviour's lovely face
   Our raptured eyes behold.

Here light, descending from above,
   Directs our doubtful feet;
Here promises of heavenly love
   Our ardent wishes meet.
