[Verse 1]
O Christian, guard your heart with care,
Lest discontent should enter there;
A little seed, when left to grow,
May lead the soul to sin and woe.

[Chorus]
Lord, teach our hearts to be content,
With every blessing You have sent;
Keep greed and envy far away,
And lead us in Your peaceful way.

[Verse 2]
Discontent opens doors to sin,
And lets the works of darkness in;
Through fraud, adultery, and greed,
The soul may fall through one small seed.

[Chorus]
Lord, teach our hearts to be content,
With every blessing You have sent;
Keep greed and envy far away,
And lead us in Your peaceful way.

[Verse 3]
Though Abraham was loved by God,
He bore the fruit of paths he trod;
And David, favoured by the Lord,
Still faced the judgement of His Word.

[Chorus]
Lord, teach our hearts to be content,
With every blessing You have sent;
Keep greed and envy far away,
And lead us in Your peaceful way.

[Verse 4]
King Solomon began with one,
But wandered far from what was done;
Strange wives at last his heart withdrew,
From Him whose ways are just and true.

[Chorus]
Lord, teach our hearts to be content,
With every blessing You have sent;
Keep greed and envy far away,
And lead us in Your peaceful way.

[Verse 5]
When Naaman was cleansed and healed,
Elisha would not take his yield;
But Gehazi, through greed and lies,
Brought lasting sorrow as his prize.

[Chorus]
Lord, teach our hearts to be content,
With every blessing You have sent;
Keep greed and envy far away,
And lead us in Your peaceful way.

Verse 6
All perfect gifts from God descend;
His wisdom rules from end to end;
No gift of grace can man obtain,
By imitation, craft, or strain.

[Final Chorus]
Lord, teach our hearts to be content,
With every blessing You have sent;
Keep greed and envy far away,
And lead us in Your peaceful way.
