#327 — I’d Rather Have Jesus

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:

(Verse 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:

(Verse 3)

I’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead:
