        A           A7         D         A
1. I’d  rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
2. I’d  rather have Jesus than men’s   applause;
3. He’s fairer than lilies of  rarest    bloom;
                             E        E7
I’d rather be His than have  riches untold;
I’d rather be faithful to    His dear cause;
He’s sweeter than honey from out the  comb;
     A           A7         D          A
I’d  rather have Jesus than houses or  lands;
I’d  rather have Jesus than world-wide fame;
He’s all that my hungering  spirit     needs,
                F#m   Bm     E            A
I’d rather be   led   by His nail-pierced hand.
I’d rather be   true  to His holy         name.
I’d rather have Jesus and    let Him      lead.
           E      E7        D      A
   Than to be the king of a vast domain
         E       E7          D   A
   Or be held in sin’s dread sway;
                   A7         D  A
   I’d rather have Jesus than anything
                E     D   A
   This world affords today.
