I heard my mother say,
I heard my mother say,
Give me Jesus.

Give me Jesus. Give me Jesus,
You may have all this world,
Give me Jesus.
Give me Jesus. Give me Jesus,
You may have all this world,
Give me Jesus.

Dark midnight was my cry,
Dark midnight was my cry,
Give me Jesus. [Refrain]

3 Oh, when I come to die,
Oh, when I come to die,
Oh, when I come to die,
Give me Jesus. [Refrain]
