346. 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 I have,
O what a Christ have I!

2 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.

3 My Christ, he is the tree of life,
Which in God’s garden grows,
Whose fruits do feed, whose leaves do heal,
My Christ is Sharon’s rose.

4 Christ is my meat, Christ is my drink,
My medicine and health,
My peace, my strength, my joy, my crown,
My glory and my wealth.

5 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.
