Take the World, but Give Me Jesus
Ambil dunia, briku Yesus

Tim Nyanyian GKI : NKB 178; f, 3/4

Apa gunanya seorang memperoleh seluruh dunia, tetapi ia kehilangan nyawanya.
Karena apakah yang dapat diberikannya sebagai ganti nyawanya?

WORDS

1
Take the wold, but give me Jesus;
All its Joys are but a name
But His love abideth ever,
Through eternal years the same.

Refrain
Oh, the height and depth of mercy!
Oh, the length and breadth of love!
Oh, the fullness of redemption,
Pledge of endless life above

2
Take the wold, but give me Jesus,
Sweetest comfort of my soul;
With my Savior watching o'er me,
I can sing, though billows roll.

3
Take the wold, but give me Jesus;
Let me view his constant smile;
Then throughout my pilgrim journey
Light will cheer me all the while.

4
Take the wold, but give me Jesus;
In His cross my trust shall be,
Till, with clearer, brighter vision
Face to face my Lord I see.


1. Ambil du-nia, b'ri ku Yesus, yang se-tia janjiNya.
Dan kasih-Nya abadi, tak berubah s'lamaNya.

* O, betapa luhur, mulia, luas lebar kasihNya!
Sungguh purna tebusanNya membe-ri hidup baka.
 
2. Ambil du-nia, b'riku Yesus yang menghibur jiwaku.
'kutetap'kan memujanya walau bagai berlalu.
 
*
3. Ambil-du-nia, b'ri ku Yesus - kudambakan senyumNya
disepanjang kembaraku , kudipimpin terang-Nya.
 
4. Ambil du-nia, b'ri ku Yesus- kupegang t'rus salib-Nya.
Samapai nanti makin nyata 'ku melihat wajah-Nya.
