1.) How fast their guilt and sorrows rise Who haste to seek some idol-god! I will not taste their sacrifice, Their offerings of forbidden blood.

2.) My God provides a richer cup, And nobler food to live upon: He for my life has offered up Jesus, His best-belovèd Son.

3.) His love is my perpetual feast; By day His counsels guide me right; And be His Name for ever blessed, Who gives me sweet advice by night.

4.) I set Him still before mine eyes; At my right hand He stands prepared To keep my soul from all surprise And be my everlasting guard.
