I One Time Lived In Sin And Did Not Know My Lord;
With All The Worldly Things My Heart Was In Accord;
I Heard The Gospel Preached, So Rugged, Stern, And True:
I Turned And Said, “Goodbye, Old World, I’m Through With You.”
Oh, Glory, Praise The Lord!—With God’s Own Chosen Few,
Whatever Be The Cost, I’m Surely Going Through;
And Soon My Lord Will Come, His Promise Must Be True;
Then We Shall Rise And Say, “Goodbye, Old World, I’m Through!”
My Old Companions Sought To Turn My Soul Away,
And Fierce Temptations Wrought, Alluring Me Astray;
My Old Friends Tried In Vain The Old Life To Renew:
I Should My Head And Said, “No More For Me—I’m Through.”
Now Soon My Lord Will Come, The Trumpet Loud Will Blow;
He’ll Catch His Waiting Bride—To Meet Him We Shall Go!
Then As I Leave The Earth With All The Chosen Few,
I’ll Cast One Glance And Shout, “Old World, Goodbye, I’m Through!”
