Olney Hymns by John Newton

Hymn 59 Old things are passed away.

John Newton

8,6,8,6

Old things are passed away.

Let worldly minds the world pursue,

It has no charms for me;

Once I admired its trifles too,

But grace has set me free.

Its pleasures now no longer please,

No more content afford;

Far from my heart be joys like these;

Now I have seen the LORD.

As by the light of op'ning day

The stars are all concealed;

So earthly pleasures fade away,

When JESUS is revealed.

Creatures no more divide my choice,

I bid them all depart;

His name, and love, and gracious voice,

Have fixed my roving heart.

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?

Yes! though of sinners I'm the worst,

I cannot doubt thy will;

For if thou hadst not loved me first

I had refused thee still. Jer 31:3
