一 我寧願有耶穌，勝於金銀，
我寧屬耶穌，勝過財富無邊；
我寧願有耶穌，勝過地土，
願主釘痕手引導我前途。
（副）勝過作君王，雖統治萬方，
卻仍受罪惡捆綁；我寧願有耶穌，
勝於世上榮華、富貴、聲望。
二 我寧願有耶穌，勝於稱揚，
我寧忠於主，滿足主的心腸；
我寧願有耶穌，勝於美名，
願對主忠誠，宣揚主聖名。
三 祂是美中最美，遠勝百合，
祂是甜中甜，遠勝蜂房滴蜜，
祂是一切一切，餵我饑靈；
寧願有耶穌，跟隨祂率領。
1. I'd rather have Jesus than silver or 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.
Refrain
Than to be the king of a vast domain,
And be held in sin's dread sway;
I'd rather have Jesus than anything,
This world affords today.
2. I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause,
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I'd rather have Jesus than world wide fame,
I'd rather be true to His holy name.
3. He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom,
He's sweeter than honey from out the comb,
He's all that my hungering spirit needs,
I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead.
