Take the world, but give me Jesus
All it's joys are but a name
But his love endures forever, through eternal years the same

Oh the height and depth of mercy
Oh the length and breadth of love
Oh the fullness of redemption
Pledge of endless life above

Take the world, but give me Jesus
Sweetest comfort of my soul
With my savior watching over
I can sing though billows roll

Through every trial and temptation
Through pursuit of glories vain
In poverty or life's great riches
Give me Jesus precious name

Take the world, but give me Jesus
In his cross my trust shall be
Till with clear and brighter vision
Face to face my lord I'll see
