Though the world allure with its golden charm
Meter: 10.10.10.7.&Ref.
Scripture: I Joh. 2:17
1
Though the world allure with its golden charm,
I’m a child of God, whom it cannot harm;
He will me uphold by His mighty arm,
Every moment of my day.
CHORUS
I’ve a friend who will ev’ry need supply,
I’ve a home far beyond the starry sky,
And you know, that is just the reason why,
I am singing Hallelujah!
2
I can ne’er forget how upon the tree
Laid the Son of God, there to die for me;
Yet to save my soul, thus it had to be,
There could be no other way.
3
I would e’er be true to my Lord and King,
Every waking hour praises to Him sing,
Knowing that at last He my soul shall bring,
Ever more with Him to stay.
