72. MY God, The Spring of All my Joys

Verse 1

My God, the spring of all my joys,

The life of my delights,

The glory of my brightest days,

And comfort of my nights!

 

Verse 2

In darkest shades if He appear,

My dawning is begun;

He is my soul’s sweet morning star,

And He my rising sun.

 

Verse 3

The opening heavens around me shine

With beams of sacred bliss,

While Jesus shows His heart is mine,

And whispers, I am His.

Verse 4

My soul would leave this heavy clay

At that transporting word,

Run up with joy the shining way,

To meet my dearest Lord.

 

Verse 5

Fearless of hell and ghastly death,

I’d break through every foe;

The wings of love, and arms of faith,

Would bear me conqueror through.
