Spurgeon Song

A hymn, written by Charles Spurgeon early in his ministry:

If to my God I now may speak,
And make one short request;
If but one favour I might seek
Which I esteem the best,--
I would not choose this earth's poor wealth;
How soon it melts away!
I would not seek continued health;
A mortal must decay.
I would not crave a mighty name;
Fame is but empty breath.
Nor would I urge a royal claim;
For monarchs bow to death.
I would not beg for sinful sweets;
Such pleasures end in pain.
Nor should I ask fair learning's seats;
Love absent, these are vain.
My God, my heart would choose with joy,
Thy grace, Thy love, to share;
This is the sweet which cannot cloy,
And this my portion fair.


Sing it back to God today, brothers and sisters!
