Take the World - Give Me Jesus

 

GIVE ME JESUS

by 

Fanny Crosby

Take the world, but give me Jesus,

all its joys are but a name;

but his love abides forever,

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 the Savior watching o'er me,

I can sing, though thunders roll. [Refrain]

Take the world, but give me Jesus,

Let me view His constant smile;

Then thru-out my pilgrim journey

Light will cheer me all the while. 

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]
