Farewell, My Sinful Pleasures

Author: Vivian A. Dake Hymnal: Light and Life Songs No. 2 #176 (1914) First Line: Take the world with its follies and riches Refrain First Line: Farewell my sinful pleasures Lyrics: 1 Take the world with its follies and riches, All its pleasures I’ve counted but dross; And the dread of the coming tomorrow, Mock its joys, turn its gains all to loss. Chorus: Farewell my sinful pleasures, Farewell, my comrades all; Farewell, my earthly treasures, I go at Jesus’ call! 2 While my heart-strings are breaking asunder, And I tearfully gaze on the past, From the wreck of my earthly ambition, I have fled to my Savior at last. [Chorus] 3 All that fame or that pleasure can offer, All that wealth or that honor can buy, All, yea, all, that I ever had hoped for, Gladly goes; on His cross let them die. [Chorus] 4 I now gladly give up all to Jesus, Take the cross, die the death to the world; Separation, the motto I herald; O’er the cross is that motto unfurled. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Take the world with its follies and riches]
