New Songs of Pentecost No. 3 ‎#40

40. You May Have All the World

1 You may have all the world and its pleasures,
But a far greater joy is mine;
There’s a song in my soul that will evermore roll;
There’s a light that will brightly shine.

Refrain:
Give me Jesus, only Jesus!
You may have all the world, give me Jesus;
Precious Saviour divine!
Praise the Lord, He is mine!
You may have all the world, give me Jesus.

2 You may have all the world and its riches,
Only leave me my Saviour’s love;
Wealth that will not decay, joys that fade not away,
Stored for me in the home above. [Refrain]

3 You may have all the world and its honors;
I have found the “more excellent way;”
For on Jesus I rest, so abundantly blest,
‘Tis the dawn of the perfect day. [Refrain]
