1 Take this world but give me Jesus,
He has done so much for me,
O the peace in serving Jesus!
In Him all my trust shall be.

Chorus:
Take this world but give me Jesus,
Take this world with all its pleasures,
Take this world but give me Jesus,
For this world is not my own.

2 He will rest and comfort give me,
If I only trust in Him,
Take this world but give me Jesus,
Who can take away my sin. [Chorus]

3 I will ever live for Jesus,
Who redeems me from all sin,
Precious tho’t that He is with me,
He can keep me pure and clean. [Chorus]
