Jesus, the spring of joys divine
Anne Steele • English
Primary Scripture: Acts 4:12
Verse 1
Jesus, the spring of joys divine, Whence all my hopes and comforts flow; Jesus, no other name but thine Can save me from eternal woe.
Verse 2
In vain would boasting reason find The way to happiness and God; Her weak directions leave the mind Bewilder'd in a dubious road.
Verse 3
No other name will Heaven approve; Thou art the true, the living way, (Ordain'd by everlasting love,) To the bright realms of endless day.
Verse 4
Here let my constant feet abide, Nor from the heavenly path depart; O let thy spirit, gracious guide, Direct our steps and cheer our heart.
Verse 5
Safe lead us thro' this world of night, And bring me to the blissful plains, The regions of unclouded light, Where perfect joy for ever reigns.
