My God, the Spring of All My Joys

Verse 1

My God, the spring of all my joys, The life of my delights, The glory of my brightest days, And comfort of my night!

Verse 2

In darkest shades, if Thou appear, My dawning is begun; Thou art my soul's bright morning star, And Thou my rising sun.

Verse 3

The opening heavens around me shine With beams of sacred bliss, If Jesus shows His mercy mine, And whispers I am His.

Verse 4

My soul would leave this heavy clay At that transporting word, Run up with joy the shining way, To see and praise my Lord.

Verse 5

Fearless of hell and ghastly death, I'd break through every foe; The wings of love and arms of faith Would bear me conqueror through.

Verse 6

Amen.
