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!
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
