My God, My Portion, and My Love (EN 1261)

EN 1261 My God, My Portion, and My Love

Ps.73.26

Versi Version 1

1

My God, my portion, and my love,

My everlasting all!

I’ve none but Thee in Heav’n above,

Or on this earthly ball.

2

What empty things are all the skies,

And this inferior clod!

There’s nothing here deserves my joys,

There’s nothing like my God.

3

In vain the bright, the burning sun

Scatters his feeble light;

’Tis Thy sweet beams create my noon;

If Thou withdraw, ’tis night.

4

And whilst upon my restless bed,

Amongst the shades I roll,

If my Redeemer shows His head,

’Tis morning with my soul.

5

To Thee we owe our wealth, and friends,

And health, and safe abode:

Thanks to Thy Name for meaner things,

But they are not my God.

6

How vain a toy is glitt’ring wealth,

If once compared to Thee!

Or what’s my safety, or my health,

Or all my friends to me?

7

Were I possessor of the earth,

And called the stars my own,

Without Thy graces and Thyself

I were a wretch undone.

8

Let others stretch their arms like seas

And grasp in all the shore,

Grant me the visits of Thy face,

And I desire no more.
