|  | 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. |
