How Long Shall Earth's Alluring Toys

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9514 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How long shall earth’s alluring toys Lyrics: 1 How long shall earth’s alluring toys Detain our hearts and eyes; Regardless of immortal joys, And strangers to the skies. 2 These transient scenes will soon decay, They fade upon the sight; And quickly will their brightest day Be lost in endless night. 3 Their brightest day, alas, how vain! With conscious sights we own; While clouds of sorrow, care and pain, O’ershade the smiling noon. 4 O could our thought and wishes fly, Above these gloomy shades, To those bright worlds beyond the sky Which sorrow ne’er invades. 5 There joys unseen by mortal eyes, Or reason’s feeble ray, In ever blooming prospect rise, Unconscious of decay. 6 Lord, send a beam of light divine, To guide our upward aim; With one reviving touch of Thine, Our languid hearts inflame. 7 Then shall on faith’s sublimest wing Our ardent wishes rise To those bright scenes, where pleasures spring Immortal in the skies.

Hymnal: Hymnal #487 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How long shall earth's alluring toys Detain our hearts and eyes, Regardless of immortal joys, And strangers to the skies? 2 These transient scenes will soon decay, They fade upon the sight; And quickly will their brightest day Be lost in endless night. 3 Their brightest day, alas! how vain! With conscious sighs we own; While clouds of sorrow, care, and pain O'er shade the smiling noon. 4 O could our thoughts and wishes fly Above these gloomy shades, To those bright worlds beyond the sky, Which sorrow ne'er invades,-- 5 There, joys unseen by mortal eyes, Or reason's feeble ray, In ever-blooming prospects rise, Unconscious of decay. 6 Lord, send a beam of light divine To guide our upward aim: With one reviving touch of Thine Our languid hearts inflame. 7 Then shall, on faith's sublimest wing, Our ardent wishes rise, To those bright scenes where pleasures spring Immortal in the skies.
