Jesus, Priceless Treasure

Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Appears in 131 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

O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, Proclaiming Thy royal degree; But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth, And in great humility. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 3 The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest In the shade of the forest tree; But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God, In the deserts of Galilee. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word That should set Thy people free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 5 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing, At Thy coming to victory, Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room, There is room at My side for thee." My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When Thou comest and callest for me. Baptist Hymnal, 1991

A Mighty Fortress

For still our ancient foe does seek to work us woe; his craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate, on earth is not his equal. 2 Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing, were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God's own choosing. You ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he; Lord Sabaoth his name, from age to age the same; and he must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, we will not fear, for God has willed his truth to triumph through us. The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure; one little word shall fell him. 4 That Word above all earthly powers no thanks to them abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours through him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill: God's truth abideth still; his kingdom is forever! Psalter Hymnal, (Gray), 1987

If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb, if I were a wise man I would do my part, yet what I can I give him, give my heart. Church Hymnary (4th ed.) (2005)
