Take The World But Give Me Jesus

Came across this hymn among the CDs I bought during the Gladsounds sale. It is written by Fanny J Crosby, the famous blind hymn writer in the 19th century. Yes, only Jesus can satisfy the longing in my heart and soul!

Take the world, but give me Jesus — all its joys are but a name,

But His love abideth ever, through eternal years the same.

Oh, the height 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, in His cross my trust shall be, Till with clearer, brighter vision, face to face my Lord I see.
