I Am Happy in Him

E. O. Excell (1902) • English

Verse 1

My soul is so happy in Jesus, For He is so precious to me; His voice it is music to hear it, His face it is heaven to see.

Chorus

I am happy in Him, I am happy in Him; My soul with delight He fills day and night, For I am happy in Him.

He sought me so long ere I knew Him, When wand’ring afar from the fold; Safe home in His arms He hath bro't me, To where there are pleasures untold.

Chorus

I am happy in Him, I am happy in Him; My soul with delight He fills day and night, For I am happy in Him.

Verse 3

His love and His mercy surround me, His grace like a river doth flow; His Spirit, to guide and to comfort, Is with me wherever I go.

Chorus

I am happy in Him, I am happy in Him; My soul with delight He fills day and night, For I am happy in Him.

Verse 4

They say I shall some day be like Him, My cross and my burden lay down; Till then I will ever be faithful, In gathering gems for His crown.

I am happy in Him, I am happy in Him; My soul with delight He fills day and night, For I am happy in Him.
