Sheet music
- 1Jesus, priceless Treasure,Source of purest pleasure,Truest friend to me;Long my heart hath panted,Till it almost fainted,Thirsting after Thee.Thine I am, O spotless Lamb,I will suffer nought to hide Thee,Ask for nought beside Thee.
- 2In Thy arm I rest me;Foes who would molest meCannot reach me here.Though the earth be shaking,Ev’ry heart be quaking,God dispels our fear;Sin and hell in conflict fell,With their heaviest storms assail us:Jesus will not fail us.
- 3Hence, all thoughts of 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’re we here must bear.Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,Jesus, priceless Treasure.
