My God, the Spring of All My Joys

Verse 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.

Verse 2

In darkest shades if he appear,
My dawning is begun;
He is my soul’s sweet morning star
And he my rising sun.

Verse 3

The opening heavens around me shine
With beams of sacred bliss,
While Jesus shews his heart is mine,
And whispers, “I am his!”

Verse 4

My soul would leave this heavy clay
At that transporting word,
Run up with joy the shining way
T’ embrace my dearest Lord.

Verse 5

Fearless of hell and ghastly death!
I’d break thro’ every foe;
The wings of love, and arms of faith
Should bear me conqueror thro’.
