Jesus, Priceless Treasure

Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Appears in 134 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13:44-46 Lyrics: 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: nothing in the world can hide thee; naught I ask beside thee. 2 In thine arm I rest me; foes who would oppress me cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear; lightnings flash and thunders crash: yet, though sin and hell assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Hence, all fears and sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in: God, who dearly loves us, from all trial saves us; gives sweet peace within; I have borne this worldly scorn; still in thee lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure!
