Pfefferkorn, 1645-1732 Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What is the world to me With all its vaunted pleasure When you, and you alone, Lord Jesus, are my treasure! You only, dearest Lord, My soul's delight shalt be; You are my peace, my rest. What is the world to me! 2 The world seeks to be praised And honored by the mighty Yet never once reflects That they are frail and flighty. But what I truly prize Above all things is he, My Jesus, he alone. What is the world to me! 3 The world seeks after wealth And all that mammon offers Yet never is content Though gold should fill its coffers. I have a higher good, Content with it I'll be: My Jesus is my wealth. What is the world to me! 4 What is the world to me! My Jesus is my treasure, My life, my health, my wealth, My friend, my love, my pleasure, My joy, my crown, my all, My bliss eternally. Once more, then, I declare: What is the world to me!
