Life in His Favor

Verse 1

Life in His favor! Forgiven all sin, Sunshine around me, and comfort within; Sov’reign and Saviour, Redeemer and Friend, Thee will I follow and serve to the end.

Verse 2

Life in His favor! The sentence repealed, Pardoned the guilty, the sin-sick one healed; Prodigal welcomed, and sonship restored, Happy the soul in the smile of its Lord.

Verse 3

Life in His favor! All else is but vain. Sin’s thorny pathways are sorrow and pain; Riches and pleasure a fugitive gleam, Honor and splendor a vanishing dream.

Verse 4

Where can be sunshine if night shroud the skies? Darkness broods o’er me until Thou arise; Radiance of mercy, effulgence divine, Sun of salvation, oh, break forth and shine.
