Full Lyrics
Hunter and Wakefield, Minstrel of Zion, 1845
1. While wandering to and fro,
In this wide world of woe,
Where streams of sorrow flow,
Give me Jesus!
Give me Jesus! Give me Jesus!
You may have all the world!
Give me Jesus!
2. When tears o'erflow mine eye,
When pressed by grief I sigh;
Still this shall he my cry,
Give me Jesus!
3. When to the mercyseat
I go my Lord to meet,
My heart shall still repeat,
Give me Jesus!
4. And when my faith is tried,
In him will I confide,
And all the storms outride:
Give me Jesus!
5. Though strength and friends should fail,
And foes my soul assail.
Through him I shall prevail
Give me Jesus!
6. And when my toils are o'er,
When nearing Jordan's shore,
I'll sing as up I soar,
Give me Jesus!
7. When at the judgmentseat,
I stand at Jesus' feet;
When worlds on worlds shall meet,
Give me Jesus!
8. When heaven and earth shall flee,
When time shall cease to be,
Through all eternity.
Give me Jesus!
