Tune:  There is sunshine in my soul today…

I rejoice in Jesus more and more

As I rest in His good will,

And I worship Him with holy awe,

My hungry soul He´ll fill!

(chorus) Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,

Who exalted is in majesty,

At your feet we humbly fall down anew,

Sweet Your Name shall always be!

In our hearts the peace of Christ does rule,

As to Him by faith we look,

If the worldly pride makes me a fool,

My pride is God´s own Book!

Subtle counterfeits try us to charm,

And we´re tempted by our flesh,

But as we in Him find gospel balm,

Our thirst is quenched afresh!

Soon our lives draw to a happy end,

As we cross the borderline,

Where we´re welcomed by the sinner´s Friend,

Whose smile will on us shine!

Everywhere the flowers now appear,

And the singing time is there,  (S. of S. 2:12)

While He to our praises lends His ear,

He´ll meet us in the air!
