|
<p>O how happy are they<br>
|
|
Who the Savior obey,<br>
|
|
And have laid up their treasure above!<br>
|
|
Tongue can never express<br>
|
|
The sweet comfort and peace<br>
|
|
Of a soul in its earliest love.</p>
|
|
<p>That sweet comfort was mine,<br>
|
|
When the Father divine<br>
|
|
I first found in the blood of the Lamb;<br>
|
|
When my heart first believed,<br>
|
|
What a joy I received,<br>
|
|
What heaven in Jesus’ Name!</p>
|
|
<p>’Twas a heaven below<br>
|
|
My Redeemer to know,<br>
|
|
And the angels could do nothing more,<br>
|
|
Than to fall at His feet,<br>
|
|
And the story repeat,<br>
|
|
And the Lover of sinners adore.</p>
|
|
<p>Jesus all the day long<br>
|
|
Was my joy and my song:<br>
|
|
O that all His salvation might see!<br>
|
|
“He hath loved me,” I cried,<br>
|
|
“He hath suffered and died,<br>
|
|
To redeem a poor rebel like me.”</p>
|
|
<p>O the rapturous height<br>
|
|
Of that holy delight<br>
|
|
Which I felt in the life giving blood!<br>
|
|
By my Savior possessed,<br>
|
|
I was perfect blest,<br>
|
|
As if filled with the fullness of God.</p>
