My Goal is Christ

Author: Unknown Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.1 #2 (1887) First Line: Ah tell me not of gold or treasure Lyrics: 1 Ah, tell me not of gold or treasure, Of pomp and beauty here on earth! There's not a thing that gives me pleasure, Of all this world displays for worth. Each heart will seek and love its own; Refrain: My goal is Christ and Christ alone, My goal is Christ and Christ alone. 2 The world and her pursuits will perish; Her beauty's fading like a flower; The brightest schemes the earth can cherish, Are but the pastime of an hour. Each heart will seek and love its own; [Refrain] 3 Against this tow’r there's no prevailing; His kingdom passes not away; His throne abides despite assailing, From henceforth unto endless day. Each heart will seek and love its own; [Refrain] 4 And though a pilgrim I must wander, Still absent from the one I love, He soon will have me with him yonder, In his own glory-worlds above. Triumphantly I therefore own; [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Ah tell me not of gold or treasure]
