Take the world, but give me Jesus

Frances (Fanny) Jane Crosby (1879)

5 Verses Pilgrim Journey Comfort In Christ

Verse 1

Take the world, but give me Jesus, All its joys are but a name; But His love abideth ever, Through eternal years the same.

Verse 2

Take the world, but give me Jesus, Sweetest comfort of my soul; With my Saviour watching o,er me I can sing, though billows roll.

Verse 3

Take the world, but give me Jesus, Let me see His constant smile; Then throughout my pilgrim journey Light will cheer me all the while.

Verse 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.
