Verse 1 

    Db                       Bb         Db  
Id rath-er have Je-sus than sil-ver or gold;  
            F             F    Eb Db Ab  
Id rath-er be His than have rich-es un-told;

Id rath-er have Je-sus than hous-es or lands;

Id rath-er be led by His nail-pierced hand  
  
 
            Eb     Ab        Bb      Db  
     Than to be the king of a vast do-main  
            Eb     Ab          Db 
     Or be held in sins dread sway;  
                               Bb      Db  
     Id rath-er have Je-sus than an-y-thing

     This world af-fords to-day.

Hes fair-er than lil-ies of rar-est bloom;  
                   F           F  Eb Db  Ab  
Hes sweet-er than hon-ey from out   the comb;  
     Db                      Bb       Db  
Hes all that my hun-ger-ing spir-it needs;  
                 F      Gb  Ab      Db  
Id rath-er have Je-sus and let Him lead
