As by the light of opening day
The stars are all concealed,
So earthly pleasures fade away
When Jesus is revealed.
These pleasures now no longer please,
No more content afford;
Far from my heart be joys like these,
For I have seen the Lord.
Now, Lord! I would be thine alone,
And wholly live to thee;
But may I hope that thou wilt own
A worthless one like me?
Yes; though of sinners I’m the worst
I can not doubt thy will;
For if thou hadst not loved me first,
I had refused thee still.
