\nI’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
\nI’d rather be His than have riches untold;
\nI’d rather have Jesus than houses or land;
\nI’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand:<\/p>\n

\nThan to be the king of a vast domain or be held in sin’s dread sway!
\nI’d rather have Jesus than anything this world affords today.<\/p>\n

\nI’d rather have Jesus than men’s applause;
\nI’d rather be faithful to His dear cause;
\nI’d rather have Jesus than world-wide fame;
\nI’d rather be true to His holy name:<\/p>\n

\nHe’s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom;
\nHe’s sweeter than honey from out the comb;
\nHe’s all that my hungering spirit needs –
\nI’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead:<\/p>\n
