I'D RATHER HAVE JESUS THAN SILVER OR 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.

THAN TO BE THE KING OF A VAST DOMAIN

OR BE HELD IN SIN'S DREAD SWAY;

I'D RATHER HAVE JESUS THAN ANYTHING

THIS WORLD AFFORDS TODAY.

I'D RATHER HAVE JESUS THAN MEN'S APPLAUSE,

I'D RATHER BE FAITHFUL TO HIS DEAR CAUSE;

I'D RATHER HAVE JESUS THAN WORLDWIDE FAME,

I'D RATHER BE TRUE TO HIS HOLY NAME.

THAN TO BE THE KING OF A VAST DOMAIN

OR BE HELD IN SINS'S DREAD SWAY;

I'D RATHER HAVE JESUS THAN ANYTHING

THIS WORLD AFFORDS TODAY.
