Give Me Jesus
1 Take the world, but give me Jesus; All its joys are but a name, But His love abideth ever, Thro' eternal years the same. Refrain: O the height and depth of mercy! O the length and breadth of love! O the fullness of redemption, Pledge of endless life above! 2 Take the world, but give me Jesus, Sweetest comfort of my soul. With my Savior watching o’er me, I can sing tho' billows roll. [Refrain] 3 Take the world, but give me Jesus; Let me view His constant smile. Then thro'out my pilgrim journey Light will cheer me all the while. [Refrain] 4 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. [Refrain]
