Vain World, Adieu

Vain, delusive world, adieu, With all thou callest good! To my Lord I would be true, Who bought me with his blood. All thy vanities must go; I have no pleasure in thy pride; Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus crucified.

Christ to know is life and peace, And pleasure without end; This is all my happiness On Jesus to depend; Daily in his grace to grow, And ever in his faith abide; Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus crucified.

O that all would now unite This saving truth to prove; See the length, and breadth, and height, And depth of Jesus' love! Fain I would to all men show The blood by faith alone applied; Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus crucified. Hymn 312A - Let Me Walk With Thee

O Master, let me walk with Thee, In lowly paths of service free; Tell me Thy secret; help me bear The strain of toil, the fret of care.

Help me the slow of heart to move By some clear, winning word of love; Teach me the wayward feet to stay, And guide them in the homeward way.

Teach me Thy patience; still with Thee In closer, dearer company, In work that keeps faith sweet and strong, In trust that triumphs over wrong.

In hope that sends a shining ray Far down the future' s broadening way; In peace that only Thou can' st give, With Thee, O Master, let me live.
