I'd Rather Have Jesus

 

 

 I'd Rather Have Jesus

 

I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold

I'd rather be His than have riches untold

I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands

I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand

 

CHORUS

Than to be the king of a vast domain

Or he held in sin's dread sway

I'd rather have Jesus than anything

This world affords today

 

He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom,

He's sweeter than honey from out the comb;

He's all that my hungering spirit needs,

I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead.

 

CHORUS

Than to be the king of a vast domain

Or he held in sin's dread sway

I'd rather have Jesus than anything

This world affords today

 

Fair is the sunshine

Fairer still the moonlight

And all the thinking starry host

Jesus shines brighter

Jesus shines purer

Than all the angels heav'n can boast

 

Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature,

O Thou of God and man the Son,

Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor,

Thou, my soul's glory, joy and crown.

 

END

Thou my soul's glory joy and crown... Jesus
