Art & Devotion: Sweetest Comfort
This month's downloadable artwork is based on a hymn with beautiful words, which were written by Fanny J. Crosby back in 1879. Take the World, but Give Me Jesus has verses I find both comforting and true today.
Take the world, but give me Jesus!
All its joys are but a name.
But his love abides forever,
Through eternal years the same.
Take the world, but give me Jesus,
Sweetest comfort of my soul.
With the Savior watching o'er me,
I can sing, though thunders roll.
Take the world, but give me Jesus!
In his cross my trust shall be
Till with clearer, brighter vision
Face to face my Lord I see.
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!
