1
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 land;
I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand:
Refrain
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.
2
I’d rather have Jesus than men’s applause;
I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I’d rather have Jesus than world-wide fame;
I’d rather be true to His holy name:
3
He’s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom;
He’s sweeter than honey from out the comb;
He’s all that my hungering spirit needs –
I’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead:

Very nice My Jesus
Nice hymn
Beautiful hymn
I have not come across anyone on this earth who is offering something better than what Christ is offering me, so “I’d rather have Jesus”. Praise God!
As a young man I have wondered but I have found nothing better this world can offer to me.” I’d rather have Jesus than anything this world affords today.”
A blessing song of the soul…I love it
Love singing this song with my son at worship time. Praying that we both remember to choose Jesus first every day.
Amen.amen.amen.
