Farewell, all earthly honors, I bid you all adieu

Representative Text

1 Farewell, all earthly treasure,
I bid you all adieu;
Farewell, all earthly honor,
I want no more of you.
I want my union grounded
On God's eternal Son,
Beyond the power of Satan,
Where sin can never come.

2 I want my name engraven
Among the righteous ones,
Who see my Father's glory,
And wear a starry crown.
For these, the better riches,
I'm willing to pass through
All earthly tribulation,
And count it my just due.

3 I'm willing to be cleansed,
And bear the daily cross;
I'm willing to be purged
From every kind of dross.
I see the fiery furnace,
And feel its cleansing flame;
The fruit of it is holy,
The gold will still remain.

4 All earthly tribulation
Is but a moment here;
And O, if we are faithful,
A crown of life we'll wear!
We shall be pure and holy,
And feed on angels' food,
Rejoicing in bright glory
Around the throne of God.
