Vain is all human wisdom found,
Compared with God’s most holy word;
This is the food of hungry souls,
And this the warrior’s conquering sword.
The staff on which his people lean,
While passing through this wilderness;
A sovereign balm to heal their wounds
A source of light and strength and peace.
Riches immense are here contained,
Beyond the treasures of Peru;
Ye sons of men, his praise rehearse,
Who gives his sacred word to you.
With grateful hearts and glowing seal,
Spread wide the dear Immanuel’s name;
Send forth his truth to distant lands,
Till all the world shall own his name.
