You Are My Treasure, Sovereign Lord

words: Gary Hicks, copyright 2010 Gary L. Hicks
music: “Christmas”, George Frederick Handel, 1728
("While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night") 
arranged in Weyman’s “Melodia Sacra”, 1815

You are my Treasure, Sovereign Lord,
My Pearl of greatest price,
And may I treasure more and more
Your living sacrifice,
Your living sacrifice.

Before I ever came to be
By angels You were praised
And may I come, with conscience free
To worship every day,
To worship every day.

You are the Song I love to sing,
In You I find my worth;
You are the Music in my ear,
The sweetest Name on earth,
The sweetest Name on earth.

You are my Treasure, Sovereign Lord,
My Pearl of greatest price,
And may I treasure more and more
Your living sacrifice,
Your living sacrifice.

  2. Thanks Mary. Feel free to use any of these, and adapt them if necessary. I can sent you PDF copies in four-part harmony, it that is useful.
