O Jesus, Highest Treasure, with lyrics - Tesoro Incomparable

O JESUS, HIGHEST TREASURE
Salomon Liscovius - St. Theodulph

O Jesus, highest treasure,
In Your communion blessed,
I find unfailing pleasure,
True happiness and rest.
Myself a willing off'ring I give to You alone,
Because by death and suff'ring
You did for me atone.

O Joy, all joys excelling,
The Bread of Life, the Way,
You came to make Your dwelling
In sinful hearts to stay.
My spirit’s hungry craving
You can forever still;
From deepest anguish saving,
With bliss my cup can fill.

O let my eyes be lightened
By sight of Your dear face;
My life below be brightened
By tasting of Your grace;
Without You, mighty Savior,
To live is naught but pain;
To have Your love and favor
Is happiness and gain.

Earth’s glory to inherit is not what I desire;
To heav'n aspires my spirit,
To glow with nobler fire;
Where Christ Himself appearing
In brightest majesty,
For me a place preparing, there,
There I long to be.
