I Cannot Tell
Vain, delusive world, adieu
Appears in 290 hymnals Topics: Choice of the Christian; Christians their life and experience; Self-Consecration; Crucifixion of Christians to the world; Happiness of life in Christ; Self-Consecration; Vanilty of earthly things; World Lyrics: 1 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.
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 woe
The sin-atoning Victim died:
Only Jesus will I know,
And Jesus, crucified.
3 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.
Vain, delusive world, adieu

Away, ye tempters of the mind,
False as the smooth, deceitful sea,
And empty as the whistling wind.
2 Your streams were floating me along
Down the gulf of dark despair,
And whilst I listen'd to your song,
Your streams had e’en conveyed me there.
3 Lord, I adore Thy matchless grace,
That warn'd me of that dark abyss,
That drew me from those treacherous seas,
And bade me seek superior bliss.
4 There, from the bosom of my God,
Oceans of endless pleasure roll;
There would I fix my last abode,
And drown the sorrows of my soul.
I send the joys of earth away

Before the Cross
Author: James Allen Appears in 830 hymnals Topics: Christ Crucifixion of; Christ Crucifixion of First Line: Sweet the moments, rich in blessing Lyrics: 1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing,
Which before the cross we spend;
Life, and health, and peace possessing,
From the sinner's dying Friend.
Truly blessed is this station,
Low before his cross to lie,
While we see divine compassion,
Beaming in his gracious eye.

With our tears his feet we bathe;
Constant still, in faith abiding,
Life deriving from his death.
For thy sorrows we adore thee,
For the pains that wrought our peace,
Gracious Saviour! we implore thee
In our souls thy love increase.
3 Here we feel our sins forgiven,
While upon the Lamb we gaze,
And our thoughts are all of heaven,
And our lips o'erflow with praise.
Still in ceaseless contemplation,
Fix our hearts and eyes on thee,
Till we taste thy full salvation,
And, unvailed, thy glories see. Used With Tune: ARMSTRONG

Hung on the cursed tree,
And groaned away a dying life
For thee, my soul! for thee.

Those sins that pierced and nailed his flesh
Fast to the fatal wood!

My heart has so decreed;
Nor will I spare the guilty things
That made my Saviour bleed.

My murdered Lord I view,
I'll raise revenge against my sins,
And slay the murderers too. Used With Tune: COMMUNION

With its shadow o'er me. [Chorus] Used With Tune: NEAR THE CROSS
