1 What on earth is worth possessing,
Since His love is in my heart?
Fade, ye dreams of earthly glory,
From them all I draw apart.

Refrain:
My Redeemer, my Redeemer,
Unto Thee my soul shall cling;
My Redeemer, my Redeemer,
I will now Thy praises sing.

2 What on earth is worth possessing?
Jesus fills my aching breast;
All to Him I’m gladly yielding,
Jesus gives me sweetest rest. [Refrain]

3 What on earth is worth possessing?
I have now a greater prize;
Jesus waits to bid me welcome
To the mansions in the skies. [Refrain]

4 Then thro’ countless ages dwelling
In the mansions bright above,
This my song thro’ life eternal,
My Redeemer and His love. [Refrain]
