117. I've found the pearl of greatest price

1 I've found the pearl of greatest price;
My heart doth sing for joy:
And sing I must, for Christ is mine--
Christ shall my song employ.

2 Christ is my Prophet, Priest and King:
My Prophet full of light;
My great High Priest before the throne;
My King of heavenly might.

3 For He indeed is Lord of lords,
And He the King of kings;
He is the Sun of Righteousness,
With healing in His wings.

4 Christ is my Peace: He died for me,
For me He gave His blood;
And, as my wondrous sacrifice,
Offered Himself to God.

5 Christ Jesus is my All in All,
My comfort and my love;
My life below, and He shall be
My joy and crown above.

Amen.
