Hymn #239
Jesus, Priceless Treasure
Lyrics
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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, whatever I here must bear,
Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless Treasure!
