Our Treasure

Oh Jesus when we think of grace our mortal hearts are thrilled

But when we apprehend your face our hopes will be fulfilled

There is no voice that can proclaim  a more worthy one

For there is no more precious name than that of God’s own Son

Oh Jesus be our treasure Oh Christ be our reward

Your worth is beyond measure oh blessed holy Lord

You are the hope of those in need, and strength for the weak

A starving soul on You may feed, They will find you if they seek

O Jesus,  may your light we show, Oh fount of living fire, 

Surpassing all the joys we know, And all we can desire.

Oh Jesus be our treasure Oh Christ be our reward

Your worth is beyond measure oh blessed holy Lord

After St. Bernard of Clairvaux
