Amidst unsatisfied desires,
Or trouble’s overwhelming flood,
Eager the doubting heart inquires,
O who will show us any good?
But happy they who serve the Lord,
And in his holy name believe;
They know, from his all-gracious word,
That he will every want relieve.
When humbly offering at his shrine
The grateful homage of the heart,
The Lord will hear, and grace divine
In rich and copious streams impart.
Worldlings, who wealth and honours love,
Full many a weary vigil keep;
But he whose treasure is above,
Shall rest secure, and sweetly sleep.
