Full Text

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 op'ning Heav'ns around me shine
With Beams of sacred Bliss,
While Jesus shews 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
Should bear me Conqu'ror through.
