Jesus, My Highest Treasure by Josiah J. Horton — Lyrics
Jesus, my highest treasure,
In Thy communion blest
I find unfailing pleasure,
True happiness and rest;
My self a willing off‘ring
I give to Thee alone,
Because by death and suff‘ring
Thou didst for me atone.
O Joy, all joys excelling,
The Bread of Life Thou art,
Thou cam’st to make Thy dwelling
In my unworthy heart.
My spirit’s hungry craving
Thou canst forever still;
From deepest anguish saving,
With bliss my cup canst fill.
