Author: Fanny Crosby Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9147 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Tell me not of earthly pleasures Refrain First Line: Tell of Him who came to save me Lyrics: 1 Tell me not of earthly pleasures,
That may leave me in a day,
Like a shadow they are fleeting,
Like a dream they pass away.
Refrain:
Tell of Him who came to save me,
Him who suffered, bled, and died;
With the love of Jesus only,
Can my soul be satisfied.
2 Tell me not of earthly grandeur,
What to me its gilded show?
Dearer far the priceless treasure
Jesus purchased long ago. [Refrain]
3 Tell me not of earthly glory,
In the cross my boast shall be,
Where the Son of God extended,
Thro’ the eye of faith I see. [Refrain]
4 Tell me more of life eternal,
Of my Savior tell me more;
Oh, the simple, touching story,
Let me hear it o’er and o’er. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: BRAINTREE
The Love Of Jesus Only
