90. When I’m Happy

1 When I’m happy, hear me sing,
When I’m happy, hear me sing,
When I’m happy, hear me sing,
Give me Jesus,

Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus;
You may have all the world:
Give me Jesus.

2 When in sorrow, hear me pray,
When in sorrow, hear me pray,
When in sorrow, hear me pray,
Give me Jesus.

Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus;
You may have all the world:
Give me Jesus.

3 When I’m dying, hear me cry,
When I’m dying, hear me cry,
When I’m dying, hear me cry,
Give me Jesus.

Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus;
You may have all the world:
Give me Jesus.

4 When I’m rising, hear me shout,
When I’m rising, hear me shout,
When I’m rising, hear me shout,
Give me Jesus.

Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus;
You may have all the world:
Give me Jesus.

5 When in heaven, we will sing,
When in heaven, we will sing,
When in heaven, we will sing,
Blessed Jesus.

Blessed Jesus,
Blessed Jesus,
By thy grace we are saved,
Blessed Jesus.
