Fairest Lord Jesus / I'd Rather Have Jesus
Fairest Lord Jesus
Ruler of all nature
Oh thou of God and man the son
Thee will I cherish
Thee will I honor
Thou my soul's glory, joy and crown
Beautiful Savior
Lord of Thy nations
Son of God and son of man
Glory and honor
Praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be Thine
I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold
I'd rather be His than have riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands
I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand
I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause
I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame
I'd rather be true to His holy name
Than to be the king of a vast domain
Or he held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today
