3206. What Hath This Wretched World To Give?

What hath this wretched world to give
Which Christians can with joy receive?
Its goods for one short moment stay,
And pass insensibly away:
I seek a permanent reward;
The favor of my glorious Lord,
The gift unspeakable be mine,
And all the heav’n of love divine.
