I prefer Christ to vain tinsel;
I prefer his grace to endless riches.
I prefer him to houses and lands;
He will be a strong champion of my soul.
I do not want the applause of the fallacious world;
I prefer to serve in the ranks of Christ.
The fame of the world is light and fleeting;
I prefer to follow Jesus forever.
And rather than being king of any nation
and ruling in sin,
I prefer my Christ, a sublime gift
which the world will not give.
More beautiful than the lily in its snow
whiteness,
my Christ is sweeter even than the
The Lord will give his peace to my soul;
I want Christ to preserve me faithful.
And rather than being king of any nation
and ruling in sin,
I prefer my Christ, sublime gift
which the world will not give.
