Author: Johann Franck, 1618-1677 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #344 (2000) Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 16:2 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, 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 let no other hide thee,
naught I ask beside thee.
2 Hence, all fear and sadness,
for the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in;
they who love the Father,
though the storms may gather,
still have peace within;
yea, whate'er I here must bear,
still in thee lies purest pleasure,
Jesu, priceless treasure. Topics: Faith, Trust and Commitment; Year A Easter 2; Year A Easter 3; Year B Proper 3; Year B Second Sunday Before Advent; Year C Proper 7; Year C Proper 8 Languages: English Tune Title: JESU, MEINE FREUDE
