TAKE THE WORLD
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.
Chorus:
O the height and depth of mercy!
O the length and breadth of love!
O the fulness of redemption,
Pledge of endless life above!
2. Take the world, but give me Jesus,
Sweetest comfort of my soul;
With my Saviour watching o’er me,
I can sing, though billows roll.
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.
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.
