My Goal is Christ

Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: Ah, tell me not of gold or treasure Lyrics: 1 Ah, tell me not of gold or treasure, Of pomp and beauty here on earth! There's not a thing that gives me pleasure Of all the world displays for worth. Each heart will seek and love its own; My goal is Christ, and Christ alone, My goal is Christ, and Christ alone. 2 The world and her pursuits will perish, Her beauty's fading like a flower; The brightest schemes the earth can cherish Are but the pastime of an hour. Each heart will seek and love its own; My goal is Christ, and Christ alone, My goal is Christ, and Christ alone. 3 Against this tower there's no prevailing; His kingdom passes not away; His throne abides, despite assailing, From henceforth unto endless day. Each heart will seek and love its own; My goal is Christ, and Christ alone, My goal is Christ, and Christ alone. 4 And though a pilgrim I must wander, Still absent from the One I love; He soon will have me with him yonder In his own glory realms above. Triumphantly I therefore own; My goal is Christ, and Christ alone, My goal is Christ, and Christ alone. Used With Tune: [Ah, tell me not of gold or treasure]

Leave us not to doubt and fear, Groping on in darkness drear. When the storms are raging sore, Hearts grow faint and hopes give o'er, Whisper softly, wanderer, come! Follow me, I'll guide thee home. 3 When our days of toil shall cease, Waiting still for sweet release, Nothing left but heaven and prayer, Wond'ring if our names are there; Wading deep the dismal flood, Pleading naught but Jesus' blood; Whisper softly, wanderer, come! Follow me I'll guide thee home. Used With Tune: [Holy Spirit, faithful Guide]
