Hymn 490
Tho' the world allure with its gilded charm
- Tho' the world allure with its gilded charm,
I'm a child of God whom it cannot harm;
He will uphold me by His mighty arm,
Ev'ry moment of my day;
I've a friend who will ev'ry need supply,
I've a home, far beyond the starry sky.
And you know, that is just the reason why,
I am singing Hallelujah!
- I can ne'er forget how upon the tree
Laid the Son of God, there to die for me;
Yet to save my soul, thus it had to be.
There could be no other way.
- I would e'er be true to my Lord and King,
Ev'ry waking hour praises to Him sing.
Knowing tffat at last He my soul shall bring.
Evermore with Him to stay.
