Waves of Devotion

Barney Elliott Warren (1911) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 35:9

Verse 1

A glorious blessing bestowed upon me, Salvation, the joy of my heart; The theme of my song and forever shall be, To me Thy rich graces impart.

Chorus

The waves of devotion rebound in my soul, And sparkle so bright in the sun; I drink of that fountain, oh, glory, I’m whole! My Eden on earth has begun.

Verse 2

Salvation, oh, glory! its rapture I feel— A current of heavenly bliss; My soul is delighted, I cannot conceal The deep-seated joy I possess.

Chorus

The waves of devotion rebound in my soul, And sparkle so bright in the sun; I drink of that fountain, oh, glory, I’m whole! My Eden on earth has begun.

Verse 3

My pathway is bright as the cloudless noonday, My peace like a river that flows; Upon me such blessings are showered alway, Which grace in profusion bestows.

Chorus

The waves of devotion rebound in my soul, And sparkle so bright in the sun; I drink of that fountain, oh, glory, I’m whole! My Eden on earth has begun.

Verse 4

More precious, more priceless, than rubies of earth His fullness of infinite love; Transported, communing with Jesus, what worth! I’m feasting with Him from above.

Chorus

The waves of devotion rebound in my soul, And sparkle so bright in the sun; I drink of that fountain, oh, glory, I’m whole! My Eden on earth has begun.
