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

Chorus:
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. [Chorus]

3 Take the world, but give me Jesus -
Let me view His constant smile;
Then thruout my pilgrim journey
Light will cheer me all the while. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]
