Jesus, Priceless Treasure

Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Appears in 139 hymnals Topics: liturgical Scripture Songs Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless treasure, source of purest pleasure, friend most sure and true: long my heart was burning, fainting much and yearning, thirsting, Lord, for 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 Hence, all worldly treasure! Jesus is my pleasure, Jesus is my choice. Hence, all empty glory! What to me your story told with tempting voice? Pain or loss or shame or cross shall not from my Savior move me, since he chose to love me. 4 Banish thoughts of sadness, for the Lord 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! Psalter Hymnal, 1987

Lyrics: 1 There's a song in the air! There's a star in the sky! There's a mother's deep prayer and a baby's low cry! And the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing, for the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King! 2 There's a tumult of joy o'er the wonderful birth, for the virgin's sweet boy is the Lord of the earth. Ay! the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing, for the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King! 3 In the light of that star lie the ages impearled; and that song from afar has swept over the world. Every hearth is aflame, and the beautiful sing in the homes of the nations that Jesus is King! 4 We rejoice in the light, and we echo the song that comes down through the night from the heavenly throng. Ay! we shout to the lovely evangel they bring, and we greet in his cradle our Savior and King! United Methodist Hymnal, 1989

A Rational Defence of the Gospel

Author: Dr. Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: Scripture The Gospel First Line: Shall Atheists dare insult the cross Lyrics: 1 Shall Atheists dare insult the cross Of our incarnate God? Shall Infidels revile his truth, And trample on his blood? 2 What if he choose mysterious ways To cleanse us from our faults? May not the works of sovereign grace Transcend our feeble thoughts? 3 What if his gospel bids us strive With flesh, and self, and sin? The prize is most divinely bright That we are call'd to win. 4 What if the men, despis'd on earth, Still of his grace partake? This but confirms his truth the more, For so the prophets spake. 5 Do some that own this sacred truth, Indulge their souls in sin? None should reproach the Savior's name, His laws are pure and clean. 6 Then let our faith be firm and strong, Our lips profess his word; Nor even shun those holy men, Who fear and love the Lord.
