My treasure is in heaven with Jesus Christ my Lord

1.
My treasure is in heaven with Jesus Christ my Lord.
I’ve joy deep down within me as lasting as His Word.
Chorus:
O now I am happy and glad and satisfied.
The peace of my Savior dwells right deep down inside.
:/: Glorious, heavenly peace! :/:
2.
Like sunshine in the noontide is my inheritance.
So I will praise my Savior with music, song, and dance.
3.
O shine of worldly glory, your pomp my soul disdains.
I sing from Zion’s mountain, “No more I feel your chains.”
4.
My all in all is Jesus, my Savior and my Lord.
The Church’s growth and glory shall be my great reward.
