1. Vain, delusive world, adieu, | |||
With all of creature-good! | |||
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 all-atoning 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; | |||

From out his head, his hands, his side; | |||
Only Jesus will I know, | |||
And Jesus crucified.}} | |||

My fluctuating heart | |||
From the haven of thy 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. | |||
5. What though all I am is sin, | |||
Sin cannot break my peace, | |||
Here is blood to wash me clean | |||
From all unrighteousness; | |||
This shall make me white as snow, | |||
On this for all things I confide: | |||
Only Jesus will I know, | |||
And Jesus crucified. | |||
6. What though earth and hell engage | |||
To shake my soul with fear, | |||
Calmly I defy the rage | |||
Of persecution near; | |||
Suffering faith shall brighter glow, | |||
As gold when in the furnace tried: | |||
Only Jesus will I know, | |||
And Jesus crucified.}} | |||

Only Jesus will I know, | |||

This saving truth to prove, | |||
Show the length, and breadth, and height, | |||

Fain I would to sinners show | |||
The blood, which all may feel applied: | |||
Only Jesus will I know, | |||
And Jesus crucified. | |||

Who hung upon the tree, | |||
Only of his love I speak, | |||
Who freely died for me; | |||
While I sojourn here below, | |||
Of nothing will I think beside; | |||
Only Jesus will I know, | |||
And Jesus crucified.}} | |||
