The Vanity of the Creatures
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #166 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Man has a soul of vast desires Lyrics: 1 Man has a soul of vast desires;
He burns within with restless fires.
Tost to and fro, his passions fly
From vanity to vanity.
2 In vain on earth we hope to find
Some solid good to fill the mind;
We try new pleasures, but we feel
The inward thirst and torment still.
3 So, when a raging fever burns,
We shift from side to side by turns;
And 'tis a poor relief we gain,
To change the place, but keep the pain.
4 Great God! subdue this vicious thirst,
This love to vanity and dust;
Cure the vile fever of the mind,
And feed our soul with joys refin'd. Topics: Holy Spirit Gospel Call Languages: English
