How Happy are They!

Charles Wesley (1749) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 144:15

Verse 1

O how happy are they who the Saviour obey, And have laid up their treasure above. Tongue can never express the sweet comfort and peace Of a soul filled with Jesus’ love.

Chorus

We’ll all shout hallelujah As we march along the way. We will sing redeeming love With the shining host above, And with Jesus we’ll be happy all the day.

Verse 2

That sweet comfort is mine now the favour divine I’ve received through the blood of the Lamb; With my heart I believe, and what joy I receive, What a Heaven in Jesus’ name!

Verse 3

‘Tis a 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.

Verse 4

O the rapturous height of the holy delight Which I feel in the life-giving blood! Of my Saviour possessed, I am perfectly blessèd, As if filled with the Heaven of God.
