175. I've found the pearl of greatest price

1 I've found the pearl of greatest price,
My heart doth sing for joy;
And I must, for Christ is mine,
Christ shall my song employ,
Christ shall my song employ.

2 Christ is my Prophet, Priest, and King:
A Prophet full of light,
My great High-Priest before the throne,
My King of heavenly might,
My King of heavenly might.

3 For He indeed is Lord of lords,
And He the King of kings;
He is the Son of righteousness,
With healing in His wings,
With healing in His wings.

4 Christ is my Peace; He died for me,
For me He gave His blood;
And as my wondrous Sacrifice,
Offered Himself to God,
Offered Himself to God.

5 Christ Jesus is my All in all,
My Comfort and my Love,
My Life below, and He shall be
My Joy and Crown above,
My Joy and Crown above.
