Let world­ly minds the world pur­sue,
It has no charms for me;
Once I ad­mired its tri­fles too,
But grace has set me free.

Its plea­sures now no long­er please,
No more con­tent af­ford;
Far from my heart be joys like these;
Now I have seen the Lord.

As by the light of op­en­ing day
The stars are all con­cealed;
So earth­ly plea­sures fade away,
When Je­sus is re­vealed.

Creatures no more di­vide my choice,
I bid them all de­part;
His name, and love, and gra­cious voice,
Have fixed my rov­ing heart.

Now, Lord, I would be Thine alone,
And whol­ly live to Thee;
But may I hope that Thou wilt own
A worth­less worm, like me?

Yes! though of sin­ners I’m the worst,
I can­not doubt Thy will;
For if Thou hadst not loved me first
I had re­fused Thee still.
