Lyics

My God, the spring of all my joys,

The life of my delights,

The glory of my brightest days,

The comfort of my nights.



In darkness shades, if thou appear,

My dawning is begun;

Thou art my soul's bright morning star,

And thou my rising sun.



The op'ning heavens around me shine

With beams of sacred bliss,

While Jesus shows his mercy mine,

And whispers I am his.



My soul would leave this heavy clay

At that transporting word,

And run with joy the shining way

To meet my dearest Lord.
