HYMN 38. —Buy of me.
1
Come
buy of thee? Lord let us see
what 'tis that thou dost sell!
The Pearl of Price and Paradice,
O Lord what Tongue can tell
2
What their worth are! what Fool is there
who doth refuse to buy?
A bargain's here! and 'twill appear
so to Eternity.
3
This Pearl excells the rich Beryl,
the Onyx and the Sapphire;
Rubies so rare can't with't compare,
no, nor the gold of Ophir!
4
Begone vile Lusts as things accurst,
let every Soul then say,
This Pearl will I purchase and buy
without further delay?
5
Let's look about, our Glass runs out,
and take such good Advice;
What e'r you see the terms to be,
to come unto the Price.
6
Sing, Sing, God's Praise, you ought always,
who this rich Pearl have;
What would you be, what more can ye
ask, seek, desire, or crave?
