Begone! vain world, with all thy pleasures
Author: H. A. Brorson; J. Scheffler Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Begone! vain world, with all thy pleasures,
And keep thy joys far from my sight;
In thee and in thy tempting treasure
My soul no longer finds delight.
The world may seek and love its own:
I love my Jesus, Him alone.
2 He is my glory and my treasure,
My wisdom and my soul's delight,
In Him I find my sweetest pleasure
And all my comfort day and night.
The world may seek and love its own:
I love my Jesus, Him alone.
3 In weakness He my strength abideth,
He comforts me, when sad my lot;
In gloom of death He light provideth,
In death as life He fails me not.
The world may seek and love its own:
I love my Jesus, Him alone.
4 He rules on high, His throne shall never
Like earthy empires pass away,
His kingdom stands and grows forever,
Till all creation owns His sway.
The world may seek and love its own:
I love my Jesus, Him alone.
5 He is the fairest--all excelling--
He whom the world refused to know,
His riches are beyond all telling,
And these He doth on me bestow.
The world may seek and love its own:
I love my Jesus, Him alone.
6 Now let me be despised, forsaken,
And in a humble state remain,
Soon I to glory shall be taken,
And with my Savior ever reign.
The world may seek and love its own:
I love my Jesus, Him alone.

Begone! vain world, with all thy pleasures
Who knows how near my life's expended?
Author: Emilie Juliane of Schwartzburg-Rudolstadt Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Who knows how near my life's expended?
Time flies, and death is hasting on,
How soon, my term of trial ended
Death may be here and life be gone.
My God, for Jesus' sake, I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
2 My many sins! O veil them over
With merits of Thy dying Son!
I here Thy richest grace discover,
Here find I peace, and here alone;
My God, for Jesus' sake, I pray
thy peace may bless my dying day.
3 His bleeding wounds give me assurance
That Thy free mercy will abide;
Here strength I find for death's endurance,
And hope for all I need beside:
My God, for Jesus' sake, I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
4 Naught shall my soul from Jesus sever,
Nor life, nor death; things high nor low;
I take Him as my Lord forever,
My future trust, as He is now;
My God, for Jesus' sake, I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day. Topics: Children's Service Preparation for Death; The Last Things Preparation for Death Used With Tune: [Who knows how near my life's expended?]
