I’VE found the pearl of greatest price, My heart now sings for joy; And praise I must, for Christ is mine, Christ shall my song employ.
He is my Prophet, Priest, and King: My Prophet full of light, My great High Priest before the throne, My King of heavenly might.
For He is truly Lord of lords, And He the King of kings; He is the Sun of Righteousness With healing in His wings.
Christ is my peace; He died for me, For me He gave His blood; As my atoning sacrifice, Offered Himself to God.
Christ Jesus is my All-in-all, My comfort and my love, My life below; and He shall be My glory-crown above.
John Mason, c 1646-94
