Lyics

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.-CHO.



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.



Christ is my Prophet, Priest, and King;-

My Prophet, full of light;

My great High Priest before the throne,

My King of heavenly might.-CHO.



For he, indeed, is Lord of lords,

And he the King of kings;

He is the Sun of righteousness,

With healing in his wings.-CHO.



Christ is my peace; he died for me;

For me he shed his blood,

And, as my wondrous Sacrifice,

Offered himself to God.-CHO.



Christ Jesus is my all in all,

My comfort and my love;

My life below, and he shall be

My joy and crown above.
