1.When thirsting for love I sought around

And longing for One Who me could love

A pearl in the valley, dear Jesus I found

A pearl from heaven above!

CHORUS

I find how precious, my Jesus!

He crowns with goodness all my days

I find him sweeter each hour

I love to be with him always.

2.Confounded o’er ways of every man

I faltered but Jesus came my way

I go with him hand in hand, follow his plan

Whatever men may say.

3.A worm that I seem in human sight

The strength of the unicorn he gives

Empowering me the dark forces to fight

He proves He for me lives!

4.The fire is burning in my soul

The fire of love for Him my all

To love Him and serve Him in love is my goal

His love does me enthral.

5.To praise Him is all I love to hear

To praise Him is all I love to do

For great is His faithfulness, that shall endure

O! He is always true!
