Done With the World 88t

Tune: Benjamin Franklin White, 1844
Alto: Wilson Marion Cooper, 1902
Lyrics: John Cennick, 1743
Meter: Long Meter Half (8,8)

Jesus, my all, to heav’n is gone,
And I don’t expect to stay much longer here.
He whom I fix my hopes upon,
And I don’t expect to stay much longer here.

Chorus:

I am done with the world,
And I want to serve my Lord,
And I don’t expect to stay much longer here.
