Than to be the king of a vast domain,
勝過作君王，雖統治萬方，
And be held in sin’s dread sway;
卻仍受罪惡捆綁；
I’d rather have Jesus than anything,
我寧願有耶穌，勝於世上
This world affords today.
榮華、富貴、聲望。

I’d rather have Jesus than men’s applause,

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.
我寧有耶穌，跟隨祂率領。
