I’ve found the Pearl of greatest price
262
C.M.
1 I’ve found the Pearl of greatest price,
My heart doth sing for joy;
And sing I must, a Christ I have;
Oh, what a Christ have I.
2 Christ is my Prophet, Priest and King;
A Prophet full of light,
A Priest that stands ‘twixt God and man,
My King that rules with might.
3 My Christ, He is the Lord of lords,
He is the King of kings,
He is the Sun of righteousness,
With healing in His wings.
4 My Christ, He is the Tree of life,
Who in God’s garden grows,
Whose fruit doth feed, whose leaves do heal;
My Christ is Sharon’s Rose.
5 Christ is my meat, Chirst is my drink,
My medicine and my health;
My peace, my strength, my joy, my crown,
My glory and my wealth.
6 Christ is my Father, and my friend,
My Brother, and my Love;
My Head, my Hope, my Counsellor,
My Advocate and above.
7 My Christ, He is the Heaven of heavens;
My Christ what shall I call?
My Christ is First, my Christ is Last,
My Christ is All in all.
