In vain I trace creation o’er,
In search of solid rest:
The whole creation is too poor,
Too mean, to make me blest.
Let earth and all her charms depart,
Unworthy of the mind:
In God alone this restless heart
Enduring bliss can find.
Thy favour, Lord, is all I want;
Here would my spirit rest:
Oh, seal the rich, the boundless grant,
And make me fully blest!
