Lord, Thou as the living oyster
Left the realm of life and light;
Seeking deep in deaths dark waters
Precious ones for God's delight.

But a worthless grain You found me;
Base and cruel to pierce Your side.
Yet within that wound You held me,
Pouring out Thy very life.

Now Thy wound's redemption keeps me
Ever in Thy tender death.
Prisoned there, Thy life's secretion
Covers me with preciousness.
Now Thy wound's redemption keeps me
Ever in Thy tender death.
Prisoned there, Thy life's secretion
Covers me with preciousness.

Thus a pearl, through death I enter
Thine own realm of life and light;
Built to be Thy habitation,
Thine expression, Thy delight!
Thus a pearl, through death I enter

Built to be Thy habitation,

Now as gates of pearl we stand here
Calling to earth's corners four,
All may enter! All may enter!
Worthless grains He will transform!
Now as gates of pearl we stand here
Calling to earth's corners four,
All may enter! All may enter!
Worthless grains He will transform!
