I've Left the World Behind Me
Author: Rev. Elisha A. Hoffman Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: I've turned my back upon the world Refrain First Line: Far, far behind me! Lyrics: 1 I've turned my back upon the world
With all its idle pleasures,
And set my heart on better things,
On higher, holier treasures;
No more its glitter and its glare,
And vanity shall blind me;
I've cross'd the separating line,
And left the world behind me.
Chorus:
Far, far behind me!
Far, far behind me!
I've cross'd the separating line,
And left the world behind me.
2 I've left the old sad life of sin,
Its follies all forsaken;
My standing place is now in Christ,
His holy vows I've taken;
Beneath the standard of the cross
The world henceforth shall find me;
I've pass'd in Christ from death to life,
And left the world behind me.
Chorus:
Far, far behind me!
Far, far behind me!
I've pass'd in Christ from death to life,
And left the world behind me.
3 My soul shall ne'er return again
Back to its former station,
For here alone is perfect peace,
And rest from condemnation;
I've made exchange of masters now,
The vows of heaven bind me,
And once for all I've left the world,
Yes, left the world behind me.
Chorus:
Far, far behind me!
Far, far behind me!
And once for all I've left the world,
Yes, left the world behind me.
4 My choice is made forevermore,
I want no other Saviour;
I ask no purer happiness
Than his sweet love and favor;
My heart is fixed on Jesus Christ,
No more the world shall blind me;
I've cross'd the Red Sea of his blood,
And left the world behind me.
Chorus:
Far, far behind me!
Far, far behind me!
I've cross'd the Red Sea of his blood,
And left the world behind me. Used With Tune: [I've turned my back upon the world]
