Lyrics: 1 As you strive for the world, for its fame and its joy, Have you carefully counted the cost? Is the prize rich enough all your strength to employ, When to win it the soul must be lost? Refrain: Are you carefully counting the cost? Have you thought what it means to be lost? For the joys that decline, do you Heaven resign? Are you counting the terrible cost? 2 In the craving for wealth, for its glittering show, Into grief and despair you are cast; And you know not the peace Heav’n alone can bestow, While your soul will be lost at the last. [Refrain] 3 Leave the riches of earth; seek the treasures above, And thro’ years that unceasingly roll, Heav’nly pow’rs shall be yours with the fullness of love, And the life, endless life of the soul. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [As you strive for the world, for its fame and its joy]

Erted-e, Mi A Tét

Author: H. F. James; Anna Piroska Williams Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: E világ csillogó kincseit kedveled— Lyrics: 1 E világ csillogó kincseit kedveled— Érted-e pontosan, mi a tét? És ha majd megnyered, kincsed lesz, hírneved, Fel ne add lelkedet ennyiért! Fontold meg szívedben, titkon, bent, Érted-e, mit nyerni mit jelent? Ez a lét múlandó—földi díj hervadó, Vár-e majd égi díj mennybe’ fent? 2 Borzasztó, nagy csalás, talmi a csillogás! Bánatot, félelmet, bajt terem. Ám a menny oly dicső, gazdag és oly csodás, És mit így vesztenél, az a menny! Fontold meg szívedben, titkon, bent, Érted-e, elveszni mit jelent? A varázs kifakul, lelked a mélybe hull, Feladod ennyiért üdvödet? 3 Földi kincs megvakít, fénye csak álom itt. Látod-e, hogy van az alkuban? Mit cserélsz ennyiért? Érdemes üdvödért? Hisz oly nagy, rettentő ára van! Fontold meg szívedben, titkon, bent, Érted-e, elveszni mit jelent? A varázs kifakul, lelked a mélybe hull, Feladod ennyiért üdvödet? 4 Kérjed hát Istened, adjon Ő életet! Száguldva múlnak el éveid, Élet és békesség így lehet csak tiéd, Jézus vár, hangja még hangzik itt! Fontold meg gondosan, mit jelent! Látod már, rád mi vár mennybe’ fent? Sírtól ott szabadulsz, és az életre jutsz, Jézusban lesz örök életed! Used With Tune: [E világ csillogó kincseit kedveled]
