| Text: | My God! the spring of all my joys |
| Author: | Watts |
1 My God! the spring of all my joys,
The life of my delights;
The glory of my brightest days,
And comfort of my nights.
2 In darkest shades, if he appear,
My dawning is begun;
He is my soul's sweet Morning Star,
And he my rising Sun.
3 The opening heavens around me shine
With beams of sacred bliss,
While Jesus shows his heart is mine,
And whispers I am his.
4 My soul would leave this heavy clay,
At that transporting word!
Run up with joy the shining way,
T' embrace my dearest Lord.
5 Fearless of hell and ghastly death,
I'd break through every foe;
The wings of love, and arms of faith,
Shall bear me conqueror through.
