The Voice of Praise ‎#256

256. I've found the Pearl of greatest price

1 I've found the Pearl of greatest price,
My heart doth gladly cry,
And sing I must, for Christ I have,
A precious Christ have I.

2 Christ Jesus is the Lord of lords,
He is the King of kings,
He is the Sun of righteousness,
With healing in his wings.

3 Christ is my Father and my Friend,
My Brother and my Love;
My Head, my Hope, my Counselor,
My Advocate above.

4 Christ Jesus is the Heaven of heaven;
My Christ, what shall I call:
Christ is the first, Christ is the last,
Yea, Christ is all in all.

5 All glory to the God of love,
One God in persons three;
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
One equal glory be.
