1.
In the morning when I rise,
In the morning when I rise,
In the morning when I rise,
Give me Jesus.
                        Give me Jesus, give me Jesus,
                        You can have all this world, give me Jesus.

2.
And when the evening falls,
and when the evening falls,
and when the evening falls,
Give me Jesus.
                        Give me Jesus, give me Jesus,
                        You can have all this world, give me Jesus.

3.
For such a time as this,
for such a time as this,
for such a time as this,
Give me Jesus.*
                        Give me Jesus, give me Jesus,
                        You can have all this world, give me Jesus.
