Let worldly minds the world pursue

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 joys can now no longer please,Nor e'en content afford:Far from my heart be joys like these,For I have seen the Lord.

3

As by the light of opening dayThe stars are all concealed,So earthly pleasures fade awayWhen Jesus is revealed.
