344. Jesu, priceless treasure

1 Jesu, priceless treasure,
source of purest pleasure,
truest friend to me;
ah, how long I've panted,
and my heart hath fainted,
thirsting, Lord, for thee!
Thine I am, O spotless Lamb,
I will let no other hide thee,
naught I ask beside thee.

2 Hence, all fear and sadness,
for the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in;
they who love the Father,
though the storms may gather,
still have peace within;
yea, whate'er I here must bear,
still in thee lies purest pleasure,
Jesu, priceless treasure.
