92. Take the World but Give Me Jesus

1 Take the world but give me Jesus,
He who died, He lov’d me so;
Gladly now I yield earth’s treasures,
Jesus only would I know.

Refrain:
Take the world but give me Jesus,
That dear Friend who loves me so;
All the world I leave, to follow
Jesus thro’ this vale below.

2 Now I hail my gracious Savior,
Living Head and glorious King;
And for His redemptive favor,
All my gifts and pow’rs I bring. [Refrain]

3 Take the world but give me Jesus,
And my heart shall be His throne;
King of kings, and Lord forever,
He shall rule, and He alone. [Refrain]
