Jesus, Priceless Treasure

Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Appears in 136 hymnals Topics: liturgical Scripture Songs Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless treasure, source of purest pleasure, friend most sure and true: long my heart was burning, fainting much and yearning, thirsting, Lord, for you. Yours I am, O spotless Lamb, so will I let nothing hide you, seek no joy beside you! 2 Let your arms enfold me: those who try to wound me cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Fires may flash and thunder crash; yea, though sin and hell assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Hence, all worldly treasure! Jesus is my pleasure, Jesus is my choice. Hence, all empty glory! What to me your story told with tempting voice? Pain or loss or shame or cross shall not from my Savior move me, since he chose to love me. 4 Banish thoughts of sadness, for the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in; though the clouds may gather, those who love the Savior still have peace within. Though I bear much sorrow here, still in you lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure! Psalter Hymnal, 1987

Human righteousness insufficieint to justify

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Justification First Line: Wherewith O Lord, shall I draw near Lyrics: 1 Wherewith, O Lord, shall I draw near, Or bow myself before thy face? How in thy purer eyes appear? What shall I bring to gain thy grace? 2 Will gifts delight the Lord most high? Will multiply'd oblations please? Thousands of rams his favor buy, Or slaughter'd hecatombs appease. 3 Can these assuage the wrath of God? Can these wash out my guilty stain? Rives of oil, or seas of blood, Alas! they all must flow in vain. 4 What have I then wherein to trust? I nothing have, I nothing am; Excluded is my ev'ry boast, My glory swallow'd up in shame. 5 Guilty, I stand before thy face; My sole desert, is hell and wrath; 'Twere just the sentence should take place, But O, I plead my Savior's death! 6 I plead the merits of thy son Who died for sinners on the tree; I plead his righteousness alone, O put the spotless robe on me. Scripture: Micah 6:6-8
