Verse 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 suffer nought to hide Thee, Nought I ask beside thee.

Verse 2

In Thine arm 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; Sin and hell in conflict fell With their bitter storms assail me: Jesus will not fail me.

Verse 3

Hence, all fears 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, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure, Jesu, priceless treasure!
