Turning from the world for Jesus,
Reaching for the prize above,
Leaning on His gracious promise,
Trusting His unchanging love.

Refrain:
Turning from the world for Jesus,
Reaching for the prize above,
Leaning on His gracious promise,
Trusting His redeeming love.

Leaving sin and worldly pleasure,
Paths of strife and valleys dim,
Thus to bear the cross for Jesus,
Giving all my heart to Him. [Refrain]

All forsaking for my Saviour,
Who forsook His all for me
When He left His home in glory,
Bled and died on Calvary. [Refrain]

Glory to His name forever!
Through His boundless love and grace,
I shall spend eternal ages
In the sunshine of His face. [Refrain]
