Lyrics & Stanzas
3 portions
Verse 1
Take the world, but give me Jesus, All its joys are but a name; But His love abideth ever, Thru eternal years the same.
Verse 2
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!
