LyicsO, how happy are they who their Savior obey,
And have laid up their treasures above!
Tongue can not express the sweet comfort and peace
Of a soul in its Savior's blest love.
This comfort is mine, since favor divine
I have found in the blood of the Lamb;
Since the truth I believed, what a joy I've received,
What a heaven in Jesus' blest name!
'T is heaven below my Redeemer to know,
And the angels can do nothing more
Than to fall at his feet, and the story repeat,
And the lover of sinners adore.
On the wings of his love I am carried above
All my sin and temptation and pain;
O, why should I grieve while on him I believe?
O, why should I sorrow again?
O, the rapturous hight of that holy delight
Which I find in the life-giving blood!
Of my Savior possessed, I am perfectly blessed,
Being filled with the fullness of God!
Now my remnant of days will I spend to his praise
Who has died me from sin to redeem;
Whether many or few, all my years are his due,
They shall all be devoted to him.
What a mercy is this! what a heaven of bliss!
How unspeakably happy am I!
Gathered into the fold with believers enrolled--
With believers to live and to die!
