Farewell Vain World
by Benjamin Cleavland

VERSE 1 Fare-well vain world, I bid a-dieu,
Your glo-ries I de-spise;
Your friend-ship I no more pur-sue,
Your flat-t'ries are but lies.

VERSE 2
You prom-ise hap-pi-ness in vain,
Nor can you sat-is-fy;
Your high-est pleas-ures turn to pain,
And all your treas-ures die.

VERSE 3
Had I the In-dies East and West,
And rich-es of the sea;
With-out my God I could not rest,
For he is all to me.

VERSE 4
Then let my soul rise far a-bove,
By faith I'll take my wing,
To the e-ter-nal realms of love,
Where saints and an-gels sing.

VERSE 5
There's love and joy that will not waste;
There's treas-ures that en-dure;
There's pleas-ures that will al-ways last,
When time shall be no more.

VERSES FOR UNDERSTANDING:

Romans 12:2

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

1 John 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
