Lyics

My God, divine, I am thine, what a comfort is mine.

What a blessing to know that my Jesus

In the heavenly Lamb, thrice happy I am,

And my heart doth rejoice at the sound of his name.



True pleasures abound in the rapturous found,

And whoever hath found it, hath paradise

My Jesus to know, and feel his love flow,

'Tis life everlasting, 'tis heaven below.



Yet onward I haste to the heavenly feast,

That, that is the fulness, but this is the taste;

And this I shall prove, till with joy I remove,

To the heaven of heavens, in Jesus' love.
