Earthly joy from me has faded

Lyrics

1. Earthly joy from me has faded, like a flower withered too Now I only live for Jesus, He, a friend so kind and true, Through Apostles He doth give me, life eternal and ‘tis free, Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior, I shall never turn from Thee. Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior, I shall never turn from Thee.
2. I no longer search for pleasures, which in Heaven there’s none to find, I now aim to gain more treasures, which me more to Christ will bind, His Apostles I shall follow, for I know it is the way Which will lead me into heaven, to that long awaited day. Which will lead me into heaven, to that long awaited day.
