Adam's Descendants to Noah

1This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he
made him in the likeness of God.2Male and female he created them, and
he blessed them and named them Man [fn1] when they were cre-
ated.3When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness,
after his image, and named him Seth.4The days of Adam after he
fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daugh-
ters.5Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died.

6When Seth had lived 105 years, he fathered Enosh.7Seth lived after he
fathered Enosh 807 years and had other sons and daughters.8Thus all
the days of Seth were 912 years, and he died.

9When Enosh had lived 90 years, he fathered Kenan.10Enosh lived after
he fathered Kenan 815 years and had other sons and daughters.11Thus all
the days of Enosh were 905 years, and he died.

12When Kenan had lived 70 years, he fathered Mahalalel.13Kenan lived
after he fathered Mahalalel 840 years and had other sons and daugh-
ters.14Thus all the days of Kenan were 910 years, and he died.

15When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he fathered Jared.16Mahalalel lived
after he fathered Jared 830 years and had other sons and daugh-
ters.17Thus all the days of Mahalalel were 895 years, and he died.

18When Jared had lived 162 years he fathered Enoch.19Jared lived after
he fathered Enoch 800 years and had other sons and daughters.20Thus
all the days of Jared were 962 years, and he died.

21When Enoch had lived 65 years, he fathered Methuselah.22Enoch
walked with God [fn2] after he fathered Methuselah 300 years and had
other sons and daughters.23Thus all the days of Enoch were 365
years.24Enoch walked with God, and he was not, [fn3] for God took him.

25When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he fathered
Lamech.26Methuselah lived after he fathered Lamech 782 years and had
other sons and daughters.27Thus all the days of Methuselah were 969
years, and he died.

28When Lamech had lived 182 years, he fathered a son29and called his
name Noah, saying, “Out of the ground that the Lord has cursed this one
shall bring us relief [fn4] from our work and from the painful toil of our
hands.”30Lamech lived after he fathered Noah 595 years and had other
sons and daughters.31Thus all the days of Lamech were 777 years, and
he died.

32After Noah was 500 years old, Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Enoch was the first to enter Heaven without tasting death.
Hebrews 11
4By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than
Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God
commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his
faith, though he died, he still speaks.5By faith Enoch was taken
up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because
God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was
commended as having pleased God.6And without faith it is
impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God
must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek
him.7By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events
as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving
of his household. By this he condemned the world and became
an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

Take the World, but Give Me Jesus - Fanny J. Crosby

Take the world, but give me Jesus,
All its joys are but a name;
But His love abideth ever,
Through eternal years the same.

Refrain
Oh, the height and depth of mercy!
Oh, the length and breadth of love!
Oh, the fullness of redemption,
Pledge of endless life above!

Take the world, but give me Jesus,
Sweetest comfort of my soul;
With my Savior watching o’er me,
I can sing though billows roll.

Refrain

Take the world, but give me Jesus,
Let me view His constant smile;
Then throughout my pilgrim journey
Light will cheer me all the while.

Refrain

Take the world, but give me Jesus.
In His cross my trust shall be,
Till, with clearer, brighter vision,
Face to face my Lord I see.

Words: Fanny Crosby, 1879.
The last verse recalls her often quoted statement: "for when I die, the first face I will ever see
will be the face of my blessed Savior. If I had a choice, I would still choose to remain blind..."
