Take the world, but give me Jesus
All its joys are but a name
But His love abides forever
Through eternal years the same
Oh, the height and the depth of mercy
Oh, the length and the breadth of His love
Oh, the fullness of redemption
Promised from above
Take the world, but give me Jesus
Sweetest comfort of my soul
With my Savior watching over me
I can sing though billows roll
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'll finally see
