Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #307 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Let carnal minds the world pursue,
It has no charms for me;
Once, I admir'd its trifles too,
But grace has set me free.
2 Its fading charms no longer please,
No more content afford;
Far from my heart be joys like these,
Now I have seen the Lord.
3 As by the light of op'ning day,
The stars are all conceal'd;
So earthly pleasures fade away,
When Jesus is reveal'd.
4 Creatures no more divide my choice--
I bid them all depart;
His name, and love, and gracious voice,
Have fix'd my roving heart.
5 Now, Lord, I would be thine alone,
And wholly live to thee;
But may I hope that thou wilt own
A worthless worm like me?
