1. Take the world, but give me Jesus, All its joys are but a name; But His love abideth ever, Thru eternal years the same. 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. 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. Chorus: O the height and depth of mercy! O the length and breadth of love! O the fullness of redemption, Pledge of endless life above!
