Full Lyrics
1. Vain, delusive world, adieu,
With all of creaturegood!
Only Jesus I pursue
Who bought me with his blood;
All thy pleasures I forgo,
I trample on thy wealth and pride,
Only Jesus will I know,
And Jesus crucified.
2. Other knowledge I disdain,
’Tis all but vanity:
Christ, the Lamb of God was slain,
He tasted death for me:
Me to save from endless woe
The allatoning victim died;
Only Jesus will I know,
And Jesus crucified.
3. Turning to my rest again
The Savior I adore,
He relieves my grief and pain,
And bids me weep no more;
Rivers of salvation flow
From out his head, his hands, his side;
Only Jesus will I know,
And Jesus crucified.
