Some sweet words written in an original new hymn.

Endear my heart to Christ my King,
Whose triumph silenced Satan’s sting.
Remind my heart through joy and pain
That life is Christ, and death is gain.

What pain can last? Not one endures.
The joy of Christ all sadness cures!
We children led by Christ are bound
To Zion, where no tear is found.

What man would not his fortune give
To dwell where Christ our Lord might live?
Yet glorified, at God’s right hand,
He makes my home in Heaven’s land.

What else deserves? What else compares?
All idols else are sins or snares.
What objects lure my heart from praise,
But fleeting chaff with numbered days?

Set fire my heart to serve your will;
To long for Christ and earn my fill.
O joyous days will bless my sight
If Christ becomes my sole delight.
