The pearl of great price
Hymnal: Linden Harp #36 (1855) Hymnal Title: Linden Harp First Line: The pearl which worldlings covet Lyrics: 1 The pearl which worldlings covet
Is not the pearl for me;
Its beauty fades as quickly
As sunshine on the sea.
But there's a pearl sought by the wise,
'Tis call'd the pearl of greatest price,
Though few its value see:
O that's the pearl for me,
O that's the pearl for me,
O that's the pearl for me.
2 The crown that decks the monarch
Is not the crown for me:
It dazzles but a moment,
Its brightness soon will flee.
But there's a crown prepared above
For all who walk in humble love,
Forever bright 'twill be,
O that's the crown for me.
O that's the crown for me,
O that's the crown for me.
3 The road that many travel
Is not the road for me,
It leads to death and sorrow,
In it I would not be.
But there's a road that leads to God,
'Tis mark'd by Christ's most precious blood,
The passage here is free,
O that's the road for me,
O that's the road for me.
O that's the road for me.
4 The hope that sinners cherish
Is not the hope for me;
Most surely will they perish,
Unless from sin made free.
But there's a hope which rests in God,
And leads the soul to keep his word,
And sinful pleasures flee,
O that's the hope for me,
O that's the hope for me,
O that's the hope for me.
