239   Jesus Priceless Treasure




[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!
