[Vain, delusive world, adieu]
[1]
Vain, delusive world, adieu,With all of creature good;
Only Jesus I pursue,
Who bought us with his blood.
All thy pleasures I forego,
I trample on thy wealth and pride;
Only Jesus will I know,
And Jesus crucified
2
Other knowledge I disdain,'Tis all but vanity:
Christ, the Lamb of God, was slain,
He tasted death for me!
Me to save from endless wo,
The sin-atoning victim died!
Only Jesus will I know,
And Jesus crucified!
3
Here will I set up my rest;My fluctuating heart
From the haven of his breast
Shall never more depart:
Whither should a sinner go?
His wounds for me stand open wide;
Only Jesus will I know
And Jesus crucified
4
Him to know is life and peace,And pleasure without end;
This is all my happiness,
On Jesus to depend;
Daily in his grace to grow,
And ever in his faith abide,
Only Jesus will I know,
And Jesus crucified!
5
O that I could all invite,This saving truth to prove:
Show the length, the breadth, the heigh
And depth of Jesus' love!
Fain I would to sinners show
The blood by faith alone applied!
Only Jesus will I know
And Jesus crucified
