Jesus, Priceless Treasure

Jesus, Priceless Treasure - Philippians 3, 1 Peter 2 Jesus, priceless treasure, source of purest pleasure Truest friend to me ch, how long in anguish shall my spirit languish Yearning, Lord, for thee? Thine I am, O spotless Lamb! I will suffer naught to hide thee Naught I ask beside thee 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 Lightnings flash and thunders crash Yet, though sin and hell assail me Jesus will not fail me Satan, I defy thee; death, I now decry thee Fear, I bid thee cease World, thou shalt not harm me nor thy threats alarm me While I sing of peace God's great power guards every hour Earth and all its depths adore him Silent bow before him 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 Hence, all fear and sadness! For the Lord of gladness Jesus, enters in Those who love the Father, tho' the storms may gather Still have peace within Yea, whate'er I here must bear Thou art still my purest pleasure Jesus, priceless treasure
