- 1O the unsearchable riches of Christ!–Wealth that can never be told;–Riches exhaustless of mercy and grace,Precious, more precious than gold!Precious, more precious;–Wealth that can never be told;O the unsearchable riches of Christ!Precious, more precious than gold.
- 2O the unsearchable riches of Christ!Who shall their greatness declare!Jewels whose luster our lives may adorn,Pearls that the poorest may wear.Precious, more precious;–Wealth that can never be told;O the unsearchable riches of Christ!Precious, more precious than gold.
- 3O the unsearchable riches of Christ!Who would not gladly endureTrials, afflictions, and crosses on earth,Riches like these to secure!Precious, more precious;–Wealth that can never be told;O the unsearchable riches of Christ!Precious, more precious than gold.
