Hymns of Pentecost ‎#166

166. Give Me Jesus

1 I heard my mother say,
I heard my mother say,
I heard my mother say,
“Give me Jesus.”

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

2 In the morning when I rise,
In the morning when I rise,
In the morning when I rise,
Give me Jesus. [Refrain]

3 When my trials sorely press,
When my trials sorely press,
When my trials sorely press,
Give me Jesus. [Refrain]

4 When I’m happy hear me sing,
When I’m happy hear me sing,
When I’m happy hear me sing,
Give me Jesus.” [Refrain]
