Am Determined to Know Nothing Save Jesus Christ, and Him Crucified

Vain, delusive world, adieu,
With all of creature good!
Only Jesus I pursue,
Who bought me with His blood:
All thy pleasures I forego,
I trample on thy wealth and pride:
Only Jesus will I know,
And Jesus crucified.

Other knowledge I disdain,
Tis all but vanity;
Christ, the Lamb of God, was slain,
He tasted death for me;
Me to save from endless woe
The all-atoning Victim died;
Only Jesus, &c.

Turning to my rest again,
The Saviour I adore;
He relieves my grief and pain,
And bids me weep no more;
Rivers of salvation flow
From out His head, His hands, His side;
Only Jesus, &c.

Here will I set up my rest;
My fluctuating heart
From the haven of Thy breast
Shall never more depart:
316 / am determined to know nothing, &c.
Whither should a sinner go?
His wounds for me stand open wide;
Only Jesus, &c.

What though all I am is sin?
Sin cannot break my peace,
Here is blood to wash me clean
From all unrighteousness;
This shall make me white as snow,
On this for all things I confide;
Only Jesus, &c.

What though earth and hell engage
To shake my soul with fear,
Calmly I defy the rage
Of persecution near;
Suffering faith shall brighter glow,
As gold when in the furnace tried;
Only Jesus, &c.

Him 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, &c.

O that I could all invite
This saving truth to prove!
Show the length, and breadth, and height.
And depth of Jesu's love!
Fain I would to sinners show
The blood which all may feel applied;
Only Jesus, &c.
/ am determined to know nothing, &c.

Him in all my works I seek,
Who hung upon the tree;
Only of His love I speak
Who freely died for me:
While I sojourn here below,
Of nothing will I think beside;
Only Jesus will I know,
And Jesus crucified.
