What Is The World To Me

Author: Georg M. Pfefferkorn, 1646-1732; H. Brueckner Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #195 (1930) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 What is the world to me With all its vaunted pleasure, If I but Thee may own, Lord Jesus, for my Treasure? Thou only, dearest Friend, My Fount of joy shalt be; To Thee I look for rest -- What is the world to me? 2 The world would fain be praised By men of wealth and power, But never ponders well How soon shall pass their hour; What I shall glory in Is Jesus, only He; His praise alone I seek-- What is the world to me? 3 The world is wont to crave The things that mammon offers, Yet never feels content Tho' gold fill all its coffers; I know a higher Good, In Jesus I can see A sweet content in store-- What is the world to me? 4 The world is wont to grieve When out of honor cheated, Or when its idle fame Has sorely been depleted; But I shall bear reproach, And this my boast shall be: I suffer for my Lord-- What is the world to me? 5 The world its tainted joy Is evermore extolling, Though while on pleasure bent, From grace it may be falling. Let him who loves the world Its boon companion be; I love my Lord and God-- What is the world to me? 6 What is the world to me? Are not its treasures waning? In Jesus I alone A crown of joy am gaining; He is my wealth, my all, I shall His kingdom see In yonder realms of bliss-- What is the world to me?

Your mercy and your grace That rise afresh each morn Have turned my stony heart Into a heart new-born. 3 Lord, you have raised me up To joy and exultation And clearly shown the way That leads me to salvation. My sins are washed away; For this I thank you, Lord. Now with my heart and soul All evil I abhor. 4 Grant that your Spirit's help To me be always given Lest I should fall again And lose the way to heaven. Grant that he give me strength In my infirmity; May he renew my heart To serve you willingly. 5 O Father, God of love, Now hear my supplication; O Savior, Son of God, Accept my adoration; O Holy Spirit, be My ever faithful guide That I may serve you here And there with you abide.
