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.

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

3 As by the light of op ning day The stars are all conceal d ; So earthly pleasures fade away When Jesus is reveal d.

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

5 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 ?

6 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.

1 HAPPY the birth where grace presides, To form the future life ! In wisdom s path the soul she guides, Remote from noise and strife.
