Lyrics
1 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! 2 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] 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]
