O the happiness arising

Verse 1

O the happiness arising From the life of grace within, When the soul is realising Conquests over hell and sin! Happy moments! Heavenly joys on earth begin.

Verse 2

On the Saviour’s fulness living, All his saints obtain delight; With the strength which he is giving, They can wrestle, they can fight. Happy moments! When King Jesus is in sight.

Verse 3

Nearer, nearer, to him clinging, Let my helpless soul be found, All my sorrows to him bringing, May his grace in me abound; Happy moments! With new covenant blessings crowned.
