I’ve Found the Pearl

lyricist: John Mason, 1683
Composer: Thomas Geary (1775–1801)

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;

A pro­phet full of light

My great high priest be­fore the throne

My king of heav’n­ly 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 gave His blood;

And as my won­drous 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.
