All its joys are but a name;
But His love abideth ever,
Thro' eternal years the same.

Oh, the height and depth of mercy!
Oh, the length and breadth of love!
Oh, the fullness of redemption,
Pledge of endless life above!

Sweetest comfort of my soul;
With my Saviour watching o'er me,
I can sing, tho' billows roll. [Chorus]

Let me view His constant smile;
Then thro'out my pilgrim journey
Light will cheer me all the while. [Chorus]

In His cross my trust shall be;
Till, with clearer, brighter vision,
Face to face my Lord I see. [Chorus] Topics: Christ Christ Precious; Christ Christ Precious Languages: English Tune Title: [Take the world, but give me Jesus]
