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.
