TRUE RICHES
Mercy, forgiveness and grace without measure,
Unfailing joy, peace, true lasting treasure,
Laid up in store, wondrous riches untold,
Secure, and with value far greater than gold.
The extent of such blessings who can relate?
No tongue can tell them their worth estimate.
Freely draw from this bounty all that you will,
It cannot grow less, but abides constant still!
Like a spring ever flowing, abundant supply,
Never diminished, which cannot run dry!
God’s people possess this great hidden store,
In Christ their dear Saviour for evermore;
His precious blood purchased it long ago,
That from sin delivered, believers might know
Inheritance blessed, O praise His dear Name,
Calvary caused Him such anguish and shame;
Deepest sorrow and suffering which fill us with awe,
Prompt us to love and praise evermore!
We taste now but little of that which shall be,
But soon from remaining corruption set free
Once we were indeed truly sad, lost and poor,
But now in Christ Jesus, are rich evermore.
We’ll dwell with the Lamb, endless ages to spend
In fellowship sweet, which never shall end.
