O How Happy Are They

Verse 1

O how happy are they
Who their Saviour obey,
And have laid up their treasure above!
Tongue can never express
The sweet comfort and peace
Of a soul in its earliest love.

Verse 2

That sweet comfort is mine,
Since the favor divine
I received through the blood of the Lamb;
Since my heart first believed.
What a joy I've received,
What a heaven in Jesus' dear name!

Verse 3

'Tis a heaven below
My Redeemer to know;
And the angels can do nothing more
Than to fall at His feet,
And the story repeat,
And the Lover of sinners adore.

Verse 4

Jesus all the day long
Is my joy and my song;
O that all to this refuge might fly!
He hath loved me, indeed,
He did suffer and bleed,
To redeem such a rebel as I.

Verse 5

On the wings of His love,
I am carried above
All my sin, and temptation, and pain;
O, that all would believe,
And by sin never grieve,
And thus cause Him to suffer again.
