Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns, for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 1841
Hymn 291 13 13 13 13 1. Farewell, all earthly honors, I bid you all adieu; Farewell, all earthly pleasures, I want no more of you: I want my union grounded in the eternal soil, Beyond the pow'rs of Satan, where sin can ne'er defile. 2. I want my name engraven amongst the righteous ones, Crying Holy, holy Father—and wear a righteous crown. For the sake of so pure riches I am willing to pass through All earthly tribulation, and count it my just due. 3. I am willing to be chastened, and bear my daily cross; I am willing to be cleansed from every kind of dross. I see the fiery furnace, I feel its piercing flame;— The fruit of it is holy,—the gold will still remain. 4. All earthly tribulation is but a moment here, And then if we prove faithful, a righteous crown shall wear; We shall be called holy, and feed on angel's food, Rejoicing in bright glory, before the throne of God. 5. There Christ himself has promised, a mansion to prepare, For all who serve him faithful—the cross the crown shall wear; Bright palms shall there be given to all the ransomed throng, And Glory, glory, glory, shall be the conqueror's song.
