Matthew 13:46: He... sold all that he had, and bought it

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

Have I not found that pearl Divine,
That treasure in the field?
Yet still it is not surely mine.
My pardon is not seal'd:
The ascertaining terms I know.
And would with joy approve.
Sell all; myself, my life forego.
To buy Thy perfect love.
