Oh, how happy are they above !
Who the Saviour obey,
And have laid up their treasures
Tongue can never express
The sweet comfort and peace
Of a soul in its earliest love.

2 That sweet comfort was mine,
When the favour divine [Lamb ;
I received through the blood of the
When my heart first believed,
What a joy 1 received,
What a heaven in Jesus's name !

3 'Twas a heaven below
My Redeemer to know ;
And the angels could do nothing more
Than to fall at His feet,
And the story repeat,
And the Lover of sinners adore.

4 Jesus all the day long
Was my joy and my song ;
Oh that all His salvation might see !
He hath loved me, I cried ;
He hath suffered and died
To redeem even rebels like me.

5 Oh, the rapturous height
Of that holy delight
Which I felt in the life-giving blood !
Of my Saviour possessed,
I was perfectly blessed,
As if filled with the fulness of God.
