Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Franck Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Appears in 131 hymnals Scripture: John 15:15 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless treasure,
source of purest pleasure,
friend most sure and true:
Long my heart was burning,
fainting much and yearning,
thirsting after you.
Yours I am, O spotless Lamb,
so will I let nothing hide you,
seek no joy beside you.
2 Let your arms enfold me:
those who try to wound me
cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
every heart be quaking,
Jesus calms my fear.
Fires may flash and thunder crash;
yea, though sin and hell assail me,
Jesus will not fail me.
3 Banish thoughts of sadness,
for the source of gladness,
Jesus, enters in;
Though the clouds may gather,
those who love the Savior
still have peace within.
Though I bear much sorrow here,
still in you lies purest pleasure,
Jesus priceless treasure! Topics: Comfort and Assurance; Courage; Jesus Christ Lamb of God; Peace Inner Used With Tune: JESU, MEINE FRUEDE
