No world save this adored,

In riot, rout, ami revelry

In pomp, in show, and cmply pride,
My chief delight 1 nought;
What reck'd I thai a Saviour dii:i
What thy my soul was drought
Tho price was paid hi precious blood,
His suffering on thn tree-.
Aion'd alike for bad and good
Aton'd of couibe for mu

And bade the health go round;
I knew 1 dream'd ofnoa'loy,
And no alloy I found.

But yielded the immortal soul,
To false and fleeting joy.

No refuge but in Heaven,
Now now, dear Lord, my daily fond
Defies rem irse and dread;
The wine I drink's a Saviour's blond;

Celestial light beams on the eight,
In ette unclouded ray;
And burning from the realms of night,
I hail eternal day.
