Bach: Jesu, Priceless Treasure (Choir of King's College, Cambridge)

[marigoldandgrace]

Thanks for posting this exquisite version. The words, however, I must correct. I remember them vividly, my first encounter being as a 14 year old from an all girls' school - in a mixed choir. Imagine the effect of....

"Jesu, priceless treasure.

Source of purest pleasure.

Truest friend to me.

Ah, how long I've panted,

and my heart hath fainted,

thirsting Lord for Thee.

Thine I am, oh spotless Lamb.

I will suffer naught to hide Thee.

Naught I ask beside Thee." Thanks again. Divine.

@marigoldandgrace Methinks the other set of words is just a different translation. I prefer your set of words, though. About 30 years ago now I was at an evening service in a Baptist Church and during the time of "open worship" a Scottish voice suddenly said "No. 768, please", seemingly out of nowhere. That was the first time I heard this lovely hymn, I got a fantastic but real feeling of being protected, and the words still give me that feeling.
