I have given up all for Jesus This vain world is naught to me

1 I have giv’n up all for Jesus—
This vain world is naught to me;
All its pleasures are forgotten
In remembering Calvary;
Though my friends despise, forsake me,
And on me the world looks cold,
I’ve a Friend that will stand by me
When the pearly gates unfold!

Refrain:
Yes, life’s morn will soon be waning,
And its evening bells will toll—
But my heart will know no sadness
When the pearly gates unfold!

2 When the voice of Jesus calls me,
And the angels whisper low,
I will lean upon my Savior
Through the valley as I go;
I will claim His precious promise,
More to me than world of gold,
"Fear no evil, I’ll be with thee,
When the pearly gates unfold." [Refrain]

3 Just beyond the verge of Jordan,
Just beyond its chilling tide,
Blooms the tree of life immortal,
And the living waters glide;
In that happy land of spirits
Flowers bloom on hills of gold,
And the angels are awaiting
Where the pearly gates unfold. [Refrain]
