The World Has Lost Its Charms

Verse 1

Let worldly minds the world pursue, It has no charms for me; Once I admired its trifles too, But grace has set me free. As by the light of opening day, The stars are all concealed; So earthly pleasures fade away, When Jesus is revealed.

Verse 2

Creatures no more divide my choice, I bid them all depart; His name, and love, and gracious voice. Have fixed my roving heart. But may I hope that thou wilt own A worthless worm like me? Now, Lord! I would be thine alone, And wholly live to thee.
