Choosing the Better Part

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCXCVII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Beset with snares on every hand Lyrics: 1 Beset with snares on every hand, In life’s uncertain path I stand: Savior divine, diffuse thy light, To guide my doubtful footsteps right. 2 Engage this roving treacherous heart, To fix on Mary's better part; To scorn the trifles of a day, For joys, that none can take away. 3 Then let the wildest storms arise; Let tempests mingle earth and skies; No fatal Shipwreck shall I fear, But all my treasures with me bear. 4 If thou, my Jesus, still be nigh, Cheerful I live, and joyful die; Secure, when mortal comforts flee, To find ten thousand worlds in thee.

Born of God, they hate all sin, God's pure seed remains within.

Call in self-love to judge the cause: Let our own fondest passions shew How we should treat our neighbor too. 5 How bless'd would every nation prove, Thus rul'd by equity and love! All would be friends without a foe, And form a paradise below. 6 Jesus, forgive us, that we keep Thy sacred law of love asleep; And take our envy, wrath, and pride, Those savage passions, for our guide.
