1 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!

2 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]

3 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]

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]
