Was frag ich nach der Welt!

Text:

Was frag ich nach der Welt!
Im Hui muss sie verschwinden,
Ihr Ansehn kann durchaus
Den blassen Tod nicht binden.
Die Güter müssen fort,
Und alle Lust verfällt;
Bleibt Jesus nur bei mir:
Was frag ich nach der Welt!

 

Was frag ich nach der Welt!
Mein Jesus ist mein Leben,
Mein Schatz, mein Eigentum,
Dem ich mich ganz ergeben,
Mein ganzes Himmelreich,
Und was mir sonst gefällt.
Drum sag ich noch einmal:
Was frag ich nach der Welt!
