Take the world, but give me Jesus,
All its joys are but a name,
But his love abides forever,
Through eternal years the same.

Oh, the height and the depth of mercy,
Oh, the length and the breadth of his love,
Oh, the fullness of redemption promised from above.

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

Oh, the height and the depth of mercy,
Oh, the length and the breadth of his love,
Oh, the fullness of redemption promised from above.

Take the world, but give me Jesus,
In his cross my trust shall be,
‘Til with clearer, brighter vision,
Face to face my Lord I finally see.

Oh, the height and the depth of mercy,
Oh, the length and the breadth of his love,
Oh, the fullness of redemption promised from above.

Take the world, just give me Jesus.
