World, howe’er thy gauds may glisten,

Ne’er I’ll turn on thee to gaze.

Toys my heart away have carried,

Here and there I oft have tarried,

Now my purpose shall not swerve;

All my life to God I’ll tender,

To his will mine own surrender,

Day and night his statutes serve.

Lord, to Thee I yield sincerely

All that here I prize most dearly,
