THOU our Treasure art, Lord Jesus,
Thee most worthy we proclaim;
All our fresh springs now lie hidden,
In Thy peerless, precious Name.
We rejoice in Thee, Lord Jesus,
Glory only in Thy Name;
Thou hast ransomed us from Satan,
From contempt and endless shame.
In the light, Lord, where Thou dwellest,
There we rest e'en now in Thee,
Sharing with Thee all God's favor,
Full, unlimited, and free.
Keep us, Savior, ever keep us,
Walking in the light with Thee,
Ever singing, ever making
In our hearts sweet melody.
This our joy that Thou dolt love us,
This our boast that we are Thine,
Heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Thee
Of Thy heritage divine.
Yea, Lord, in the desert keep us,
Journeying on by faith, not sight,
With our garments undefiled,
Ever spotless, ever white.
Soon, in glory, we shall meet Thee,
Know the fullness of Thy love,
Spend eternity, Lord, with Thee,
In the Father's house above.
