By A Collection of Hymns

      7s & 6s.
      1 VAIN, delusive world, adieu,
      With all of creature-good!
      Only Jesus I pursue,
      Who bought me with his blood:
      All thy pleasures I forego,
      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 sin-atoning Victim died:
      Only Jesus will I know,
      And Jesus crucified.

      3 Turning to my rest again,
      The Saviour 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.

      4 Here will I set up my rest;
      My fluctuating heart
      From the haven of his breast
      Shall never more depart.
      Whither should a sinner go?
      His wounds for me stand open wide:
      Only Jesus will I know,
      And Jesus crucified.
