| 1 | Give up the world, Christ to obtain, |
| | | He is your heart’s very need; |
| | What else can you desire or seek? |
| | | All things are empty indeed! |
| Chorus |
| | | He is so rich, He is so full, |
| | | | He can fulfill all your needs! |
| | | He is so good, He is so sweet, |
| | | | All your desire He exceeds! |
| 2 | Give up the world, Christ to obtain, |
| | | He is the One you require; |
| | Once you receive this glorious Christ, |
| | | Never the rest you’ll desire. |
| 3 | Though very great is all the world, |
| | | And very small is your heart, |
| | Yet the great world with all its wealth |
| | | Never can fill your small heart. |
| 4 | If you have Christ, you have all joys; |
| | | Without this Christ, only pains; |
| | Where there is Christ there morning is; |
| | | Where He is not, night remains. |
