Jesus, Priceless Treasure

Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Appears in 136 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless treasure, Source of purest pleasure, Truest friend to me: Long my heart hath panted, 'Til it well-nigh fainted, Thirsting after Thee. Thine I am, O spotless Lamb, I will suffer naught to hide Thee, Ask for naught beside Thee. 2 In Thy strength I rest me; Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, Every heart be quaking, God dispels our fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their heaviest storms assail us; Jesus will not fail us. 3 Banished is our 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 we here must bear, Still is Thee lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure! Amen. Topics: Comfort and Encouragement; Worship Used With Tune: JESU, MEINE FREUDE

Lord, give us grace that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee. Amen.

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,325 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be; Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, and hoped and known; Yet how rich is my condition, God and heav'n are still my own! 2 Let the world despise and leave me; They have left my Savior, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like man, untrue; And, while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate and friends may shun me; Show Thy face, and all is bright. 3 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 4 Hasten on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heav'n's eternal days before me, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass my pilgrim days, Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen.
