Jesus, priceless treasure

Author: J. Franck Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Appears in 136 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Third Sunday after Easter; The Church Year Third Sunday after Easter; Abiding in Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless treasure, Source of purest pleasure, Truest friend to me: Ah, how long I've panted And my heart hath fainted, Thirsting, Lord, for Thee. Thine I am, O spotless Lamb! I will suffer naught to hide Thee, Naught I ask beside Thee. 2 In Thine arms 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; Fires may flash and thunder crash; Yea, and sin and hell assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Hence, with earthly treasure! Thou art all my pleasure, Jesus, all my choice; Hence, thou empty glory! Naught to me thy story, Told with tempting voice; Pain or loss, or shame, or cross, Shall not from my Savior move me Since He deigns to love me. 4 Fare thee well that errest, Thou that earth preferrest, Thou wilt tempt in vain; Fare thee well, transgression, Hence, abhorred possession, Come not forth again. Past your hour, O pride and power, Worldly life, thy bonds I sever, Fare thee well forever! 5 Hence, all fear and sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in; Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within. Yea, whate'er I here must bear, Thou art still my purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure. Used With Tune: [Jesus, priceless treasure]

Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days. 3 Cure your children’s warring madness, bend our pride to your control; shame our wanton selfish gladness, rich in goods and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss your kingdom's goal. 4 Set our feet on lofty places; gird our lives that they may be armoured with all Christ-like graces, pledged to set all captives free.

With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove; who can faint while such a river ever flows their thirst t'assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a cov'ring, showing that the Lord is near; thus deriving from their banner light by night and shade by day, safe they feed upon the manna which he gives them when they pray. 4 Savior, if of Zion's city I, thro' grace, a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name; fading is the worldling's pleasure, all his boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know.

What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made; O joy, for all its former woes A thousand fold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore; What knitting severed friendships up Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle, That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of thine elect, Then take thy pow'r, and reign: Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heav'n thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Saviour, come.
