|
| 1. | I've found the One of peerless worth. |
| | My heart doth sing for joy; |
| | And sing I must, for Christ I have: |
| | Oh, what a Christ have I! |
| 2. | My Christ, He is the Lamb of God, |
| | Who full salvation brings; |
| | He is the Sun of Righteousness, |
| | With healing in His wings. |
| 3. | My Christ, He is the Tree of Life |
| | With fruit abundant, sweet; |
| | My hunger He doth satisfy; |
| | Of Him I daily eat. |
| 4. | My Christ, He is the smitten Rock |
| | Whence living waters burst; |
| | He is the fountain in my heart |
| | Which quenches all my thirst. |
| 5. | Christ is my life, my light my way, |
| | My comfort and my health, |
| | My peace, my rest, my joy, my hope, |
| | My glory and my wealth. |
| 6. | Christ is my wisdom and my pow'r, |
| | My boast and righteousness, |
| | My vict'ry and redemption sure, |
| | My truth and holiness. |
| 7. | Christ is my Savior, Shepherd, Lord, |
| | My Advocate above, |
| | My Counsellor, my Father, God, |
| | My Brother, Friend, and Love. |
| 8. | Christ is my Captain and my Guard, |
| | My Teacher and my Guide, |
| | My Bridegroom, Master and my Head; |
| | In me doth He reside. |
| 9. | Christ is my Prophet, Priest, and King; |
| | My Prophet full of sight; |
| | My Priest that stands 'twixt me and God, |
| | My King that rules with might. |
| 10. | Christ is the Author of my faith, |
| | And its Perfecter too, |
| | My Mediator, Guarantee, |
| | And faithful Witness true. |
| 11. | Christ is my everlasting home, |
| | My all-sufficient land; |
| | My fortress, tower, hiding-place, |
| | And my eternal stand. |
| 12. | Christ is my sabbath and new moon, |
| | My morning and my day, |
| | My age and my eternity |
| | That ne'er will pass away. |
| 13. | Christ is my trust and my desire, |
| | In comeliness replete, |
| | My satisfaction and delight, |
| | Who all my need doth meet. |
| 14. | My Christ, the all-inclusive One, |
| | My Christ what shall I call? |
| | He is the first, He is the last, |
| | My Christ is All in all. |
| 15. | Since such a treasure I possess, |
| | My heart doth sing for joy; |
| | And I must sing, and sing again; |
| | Oh, what a Christ have I! |
