Original text and translations

English text 1. What if all the world was given unto me, In the sight of men, how exalted would I be? If I have not Jesus when I come to die, All the world can never satisfy. Chorus Though I possess no treasures here below, Though I but few life’s pleasures ever know, With the gift of heaven, Jesus crucified, I’ll be satisfied, I’ll be satisfied.

2. Compliments are pleasant, those who thus are blessed, Kindly smiles and greetings bring us happiness; In the gloomy shadows, when the end is nigh, All our earthly friends cannot satisfy. 3. Honor and position may your fortune be, Life with tears and heartaches may you never see; All of these will vanish when you come to die, Only Jesus Christ will satisfy.

4. Palaces and mansions you may never own, In your earthly pathway humble and alone; If you have the gift that money cannot buy, When all else have failed it will satisfy.
