Take the world, but give me Jesus
All its joys are but a name
But His love abideth ever
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
In His cross my trust shall be
Till, with clearer, brighter vision
Face to face my Lord I see

Alternate verses:
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
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
