VERSE 1 
Gladly would I leave behind me 
All the pleasure I have known 
To pursue surpassing treasures 
At the throne of God the Son 
Worthy of unending worship 
Love and loveliness is He 
By His precious death were millions 
From the jaws of death set free 

VERSE 2 
Gladly would I give to Jesus 
All affection, everything 
For the washing of His mercy 
Makes my ransomed heart to sing 
“Holy, holy!” is the [bad word] 
Rising up from those who see 
Christ exalted, bright and burning 
Full of pow’r and purity 
 [bad word] 
Where else can I go? 
Jesus, You’re the One 
That I was made to know 
What else can I do? 
Jesus, You’re my all 
I [bad word] to You 

VERSE 3 
Gladly would I flee temptations 
For their troubles fill my life 
Turn and seek my God and Savior 
For His goodness satisfies 
Earthly treasures, all are passing 
Thieves break in [bad word] destroys 
But in God are awesome splendor 
Love, and everlasting joys
