Sabbath Psalm (From E. W. Blandy’s hymn, ‘Take the World but Give Me Jesus’)
Take the world, but give me Jesus—all its joys are but a name;
His the love that stays forever, through eternal years the same.
Take the world, but give me Jesus—sweetest comfort of my soul;
With my Savior watching o’er me, I can sing though billows roll.
Take the world, but give me Jesus—let me view His constant smile;
Then throughout my pilgrim journey, light will cheer me all the while.
Take the world, but give me Jesus—in His cross my trust will be;
Till, with clearer, brighter vision, face to face my Lord I see.
O the height and depth of Mercy! O the length and breadth of Love!
O the fullness of Redemption! Christ—our endless Life above!
