Time may tarnish earthly treasures, Take what I have loved before; Jesus gives abiding pleasures, Having Him, what need I more? Having Him, what need I more?Refrain: I have Christ and need no more, From His hand rich gifts outpour, Lo, I’m singing o’er and o’er, have Christ, I need no more.2. Tho’ the beams of worldly gladness Fail to light the pathway dim, Jesus takes away my sadness; All I need I find in Him. All I need I find in Him.3. To His boundless stores of blessing, Jesus opens wide the door; Allinall in Him possessing, I shall never want for more. I shall never want for more.
