Sheet music

  1. 1The treasures of earth are not mine;I hold not its silver and gold,But a treasure far greater is mine:I have riches of value untold.O the depth of the riches of love,(the riches of love,)The riches of love in Christ Jesus!Far better than gold, or wealth untold,Are the riches of love in Christ Jesus.
  2. 2The treasures of earth must all fall;Its riches and honor decay,But the riches of love that are mineEven death cannot take them away.O the depth of the riches of love,(the riches of love,)The riches of love in Christ Jesus!Far better than gold, or wealth untold,Are the riches of love in Christ Jesus.
  3. 3Compared with the riches of love,The wealth of the world is but dross;I will seek but Christ Jesus to win,And for Him I count all things but loss.O the depth of the riches of love,(the riches of love,)The riches of love in Christ Jesus!Far better than gold, or wealth untold,Are the riches of love in Christ Jesus.
  4. 4Come, take of the riches of Christ:Exhaustless and free is the store;Of its wonderful fullness receive,Till you hunger and thirst nevermore.O the depth of the riches of love,(the riches of love,)The riches of love in Christ Jesus!Far better than gold, or wealth untold,Are the riches of love in Christ Jesus.
