The Pearl of Great Price

Author: M. Louise Smith Hymnal: Songs for All #19 (1906) First Line: I once was a wand'rer, far from God Refrain First Line: But now I am saved, yes, I’m saved Lyrics: 1 I once was a wand’rer, far from God, I knew not the light of his face; I chose the dark paths of sin and doubt, Refusing to learn of his grace. Refrain: But now I am saved, yes, I’m saved, Sin’s pleasures no longer entice; I’ve found something better than all, The wonderful pearl of great price. 2 ‘Twas while I was seeking joys of earth, With heart filled with longing and pain, That Christ gently came and showed the way The pearl of great price to obtain. [Refrain] 3 My hand into his at last I put, And O what a wonderful peace Came over my soul in flood of joy, With knowledge of fullest release. [Refrain] 4 A long time I walked in sinful ways, And knew not the joys of his love; But all of earth’s pleasures count as naught, Compared to this pearl from above. [Refrain] Tune Title: [I once was a wanderer, far from God]
