Jesus, priceless treasure by Johann Sebastian Bach — Lyrics
Jesus, priceless treasure
source of purest pleasure
truest friend to me.
How my heart hath panted
'til it well nigh feinted
thirsting, Lord, for thee.
Thine I am O spotless Lamb
I will suffer naught to hide thee
Naught I ask beside thee.
In thine arm I rest me
foes who would molest me
cannot reach me here
Though the earth be shaking
ev'ry heart be quaking
