THE WONDROUS PEARL, by                    
First Line: The wondrous pearl of greatest price
Last Line: Bought with a love so great?
Subject(s): Cavalry; Love; Pearls


The wondrous Pearl of greatest price
Is what Christ's love doth give;
That Pearl of lustre beautiful
Is evermore to live.
The joy of Heaven in its depths
Is thine if thou accept
The sacrifice on Calvary
When Jesus paid thy debt.

Beyond the price of earthly wealth,
Of silver or of gold,
That Pearl was purchased with Christ's blood,
And with a love untold.
O, how can any soul refuse,
Or even hesitate,
Acceptance of that wondrous Pearl
Bought with a love so great?
