What Hath This Wretched World to Give?

What hath this wretch­ed world to give

Which Christ­ians can with joy re­ceive?

Its goods for one short mo­ment stay

And pass in­sen­si­bly away:

I seek a per­ma­nent re­ward;

The fa­vor of my glo­ri­ous Lord

The gift un­speak­able be mine

And all the heav’n of love di­vine.
