RAPHAEL-Gaetano Donizetti
The Pearl of Greatest Price
}
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.
Chorus 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.
For He indeed is 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 shed His blood;
And as my wond'rous 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 joy and crown above.
