1. Since man by sin has lost his God, He seeks creation through; And vainly strives for solid bliss, In trying something new, In trying something new, And vainly tries for solid bliss, In trying something new. | 2. The new possessed like fading flowers, Soon loses its gay hue: The bubble now no longer stays, The soul wants something new, The soul wants something new, The bubble now no longer stays, The soul wants something new. | 3. Now could we call all Europe ours, With India and Peru; The mind would feel an aching void, And still want something new. And still want something new. The mind would feel an aching void, And still want something new. | 4. But when we feel the power of Christ, All good in him we view; The soul forsakes her vain pursuits, In Christ finds something new. In Christ finds something new. The soul forsakes her vain pursuits, In Christ finds something new. | 5. The joy the dear Redeemer gives, Will bear a strict review Nor need we ever change again For Christ is always new. For Christ is always new. Nor need we ever change again For Christ is always new. | 6. Come, sinners, then and seek the joys Which Christ bids you pursue; And keep the glorious theme in view, In Christ seek something new. In Christ seek something new. And keep the glorious theme in view, In Christ seek something new. | 7. But soon a change awaits us all, Before the great review; And at his feet with rapture fall, And heaven brings something new. And heaven brings something new. And at his feet with rapture fall, And heaven brings something new. | |
