Episode 15 of "Behind the Hymn: Johann Franck."
Today's episode featured the hymn "Jesus, Priceless Treasure" (LSB 743).
"Jesus, Priceless Treasure" is a love song about Christ, the bridegroom, and His bride, the Church - all believers in Christ. This hymn proclaims that Christ's believers are citizens of heaven and have God's grace, but our earthly life is not easy. Nor is sin conquered in this life. But, even though "the storms may gather," such as persecution, doubt, and fear, those who love the Father nonetheless "still have peace within."
