Vain, Delusive World, Adieu,
With All Of Creature-Good!
Only Jesus I Pursue,
Who Bought Me With His Blood:
All Thy Pleasures I Forego,
I Trample On Thy Wealth And Pride:
Only Jesus Will I Know,
And Jesus Crucified.
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 Woe,
The Sin-Atoning Victim Died:
Only Jesus Will I Know,
And Jesus Crucified.
Turning To My Rest Again,
The Saviour I Adore;
He Relieves My Grief And Pain,
And Bids Me Weep No More.
Rivers Of Salvation Flow
From Out His Head, His Hands, His Side:
Only Jesus Will I Know,
And Jesus Crucified.
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.
