Take the World, but Give Me Jesus

1Take the world, but give me Jesus,
All its joys are but a name;
But His love abideth ever,
Through eternal years the same.

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

2Take the world, but give me Jesus,
Sweetest comfort of my soul;
With my Savior watching o'er me,
I can sing, though billows roll.

3Take the world, but give me Jesus;
Let me view His constant smile;
Then through out my pilgrim journey
Light will cheer me all the while.

4Take 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.
