Text:O tell me no more of this world's vain store
Tune:HANOVER

19a. O tell me no more of this world's vain store

O tell me no more of this world's vain store;
The time for such trifles with me now is o'er.
A country I've found, where true joys abound;
To dwell I'm determined on that happy ground.
The souls that believe, in paradise live:
And me in that number will Jesus receive."
My Soul, don't delay he calls Thee away,
Rise, follow the Savior, and bless the glad day.
