Turning away, turning away,
Turning away to Jesus;
Turning from sin to the Savior of men,
Turning away to Jesus.

Turning from all that opposes the right,
Turning with joy to the realms of delight,
Turning away to Jesus. [Refrain]

Turning from byways where evil is rife,
Turning in love to the Give of life,
Turning away to Jesus. [Refrain]

Turning from joys that last only a day,
Turning in hope to a heaven for aye,
Turning away to Jesus. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Turning away from the world’s pomp and pride]
