- 1My God, the spring of all my joys,
- The life of my delights,
- The glory of my brightest days,
- The comfort of my nights!
- In darkest shades, if Thou appear,
- My dawning is begun:
- Thou art my soul's bright morning star,
- And Thou my rising sun.
- 2The op'ning heav'ns around me shine
- With beams of sacred bliss,
- While Jesus shows His mercy mine,
- And whispers I am His.
- My soul would leave this heavy clay,
- At that transporting word,
- And run with joy the shining way
- To meet my dearest Lord.
