Tell Me No More Of Earthly Toys

Author: Susannah Harrison Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8685 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Tell me no more of earthly toys, Of sinful mirth, and carnal joys, The things I loved before; Let me but view my Savior’s face, And feel His animating grace, And I desire no more. 2 Tell me no more of praise and wealth, Tell me no more of ease and health, For these have all their snares; Let me but know my sins forgiv’n, But see my name enrolled in Heav’n, And I am free from cares. 3 Tell me no more of lofty towers, Delightful gardens, fragrant bowers, For these are trifling things; The little room for me designed Will suit as well my easy mind, As palaces of kings. 4 Tell me no more of crowding guests, Of sumptuous feasts and gaudy dress, Extravagance and waste; My little table, only spread With wholesome herbs and wholesome bread. Will better suit my taste. 5 Give me the Bible in my hand, A heart to read and understand, And faith to trust the Lord; I’d set alone from day to day, Or urge no company to stay, Nor wish to rove abroad.

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #443 (1828) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Tell me no more of earthly toys, Of sinful mirth and carnal joys, (The things I lov'd before:) Let me but view my Saviour's face, And feel his animating grace, And I desire no more. 2 Tell me no more of praise and wealth, Of careless ease and blooming health, For they have all their snares: Let me but know my sins forgiv'n, And see my name enroll'd in heaven, And I am free from cares. 3 Tell me no more of lofty tow'rs, Delightful gardens, fragrant bow'rs, For these are trifling things; The little room for me design'd, Will suit as well my easy mind, As palaces of kings. 4 Tell me no more of crowding guests, Of gaudy dress, and sumptuous feasts, Extravagance and waste: My little table, only spread With wholesome herbs and wholesome bread, Will better suit my taste. 5 Give me a bible in my hand, A heart to read and understand, This sure, unerring word; I'd urge no company to stay, But sit alone from day to day And converse with the Lord.
