I Have Left All the World to Follow Jesus

Author: Daniel Otis Teasley Meter: 7.7.11.7.7.11.11.11.7.7.11 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: In this world I found no rest Lyrics: 1 In this world I found no rest, Sorrow filled my aching breast, Till I turned to One who loved me best of all; Oh, what sacred peace I find, Since my all I have resigned! I have left all the world to follow Jesus. Refrain: I have left all the world to follow Jesus, Never backward to its follies will I turn; Oh, I’m on my upward way, And it’s brighter every day; For I’ve left all the world to follow Jesus. 2 Oh, what wondrous joy He gives, While His Spirit in me lives, For it is my meat and drink to do His will; He the treasure I adore, Brightens all my way before; For I’ve left all the world to follow Jesus. [Refrain] 3 I am wholly sanctified, Walking closely by His side, I will ever cling to Him, my all in all; Sweetly doth His presence fill, While I sink into His will, For I’ve left all the world to follow Jesus. [Refrain] 4 Earthly treasures fade away, As I travel day by day Up the shining way that leads to glory bright; Soon I’ll gain eternal rest With the ransomed and the blest; For I’ve left all the world to follow Jesus. [Refrain] Select Hymns, 1911 (Timeless Truths) Used With Tune: [In this world I found no rest]
