Who bought me with his blood.
All thy pleasures I forego,
I trample on thy wealth and prid,

The sin-atoning victim died,
Only Jesus will I know,
And Jesus crucified.

And Jesus crucified.

And pleasure without end ;
This is all my happiness,
On Jesus to depend :
Daily in his grace to grow,
And ever in his faith abide,
Only Jesus will I know,
And Jesus crucified.

This saving truth to prove;
