Far Behind

Author: Rev. F. L. Snyder Hymnal: New Songs of the Gospel No. 2 #101 (1905) First Line: I've turned my back upon the world Refrain First Line: Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord Lyrics: 1 I’ve turned my back upon the world, With all its empty pleasures, And set my heart on better things, On higher, holier treasures. Refrain: Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! I’ve left the world behind me! I’ve crossed the separating line, And left the world behind me! 2 I left my former life of sin, Its follies all forsaken; I stand complete in Jesus Christ, His holy vows have taken. [Refrain] 3 I never will turn back again To worldliness; no, never! I’ve found a better way than that, It’s Jesus now and ever! [Refrain] 4 So on I’ll press, in Jesus’ name, To gain a home in heaven; And then I’ll sing forevermore, I’ve left the world forever! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I've turned my back upon the world]
