638. 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 joy 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 day
The stars are all concealed,
So earthly pleasures fade away
When Jesus is revealed.
