Lyrics
Verse 1
Jesus, priceless Treasure, Source of purest pleasure, Truest friend to me; Long my heart hath panted, Till it almost fainted, Thirsting after Thee. Thine I am, O spotless Lamb, I will suffer naught to hide Thee, Ask for naught beside Thee.
Verse 2
In Thine arm I rest me; Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here. Tho' the earth be shaking Ev'ry heart be quaking, God dispels our fear; Sin and hell in conflict fell, With their heaviest storms assail us: Jesus will not fail us.
Verse 3
Hence, all tho'ts of 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 we here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless Treasure.
