Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #415 (1870) Topics: Crucifixion of Christians to the world; 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.
