239- Jesus, Priceless Treasure

Jesus Christ: Glory and Praise

1

  • Jesus, priceless treasure,
  • Source of purest pleasure,
  • Truest Friend to me:
  • Ah! how long I've panted,
  • And my heart has fainted,
  • Thirsting, Lord, for Thee.
  • Thine I am, O spotless Lamb,
  • I will suffer naught to hide Thee,
  • Nought I ask beside Thee.

2

  • In Thine arm I rest me;
  • Foes who would molest me
  • Cannot reach me here;
  • Though the earth be shaking,
  • Every heart be quaking,
  • Jesus calms my fear;
  • Sin and hell in conflict fell
  • With their bitter storms assail me:
  • Jesus will not fail me.

3

  • Hence all fears and sadness!
  • For the Lord of gladness,
  • Jesus enters in;
  • Those who love the Father,
  • Tho' the storms may gather,
  • Still have peace within;
  • Yea, whate'er I here must bear,
  • Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,
  • Jesus, priceless treasure!
