137. Give Me Jesus.

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

* CHORUS
Oh, the heights and depth of mercy!
Oh, the length and breath 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 Saviour 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.

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.
