I’d Dbrath-er have Je-sus than Bbsil-ver or Dbgold;
I’d rath-er be FHis than have Frich-Ebes Dbun-Abtold;
I’d Dbrath-er have Je-sus than Bbhous-es or Dblands;
I’d rath-er be Fled Gbby His Abnail-pierced Dbhand
     Than to Ebbe the Abking of a Bbvast do-Dbmain
                 Eb            AbDB
     Or be held in sin’s dread sway;
                                  Bb      b
     I’d rath-er have Je-sus than an-y-thing
     This wAborld af-fords to-Dbday.
I’d Dbrath-er have Je-sus than Bbmen’s ap-pDblause;
I’d rath-er be Ffaith-ful to HFis    Eb  Dbdear Abcause;
I’d Dbrath-er have Je-sus than Bbworld-wide Dbfame;
I’d rath-er be Ftrue Gbto His Abho-ly Dbname
He’s Dbfair-er than lil-ies of rBbar-est blDboom;
He’s sweet-er than Fhon-ey from Fout   Eb  Dbthe Abcomb;
He’s Dball that my hun-ger-ing Bbspir-it nDbeeds;
I’d rath-er have FJe-sus Gband Ablet Him Dblead
