Verse 1

Oh, how happy are they
Who their Savior obey,
And have laid up their treasures above;
Tongue cannot express
The sweet comfort and peace
Of a soul in its earliest love.

Verse 2

That sweet comfort was mine,
When the favor divine
I first found in the blood of the Lamb;
When my heart it believed,
What a joy I received,
What a heaven in Jesus’ name.

Verse 3

’Twas a heaven below
My Redeemer to know,
And the angels could 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,
Was my joy and my song;
O that all his salvation might see!
He hath loved me, I cried,
He hath suffered and died
To redeem such a rebel as me.

Verse 5

On the wings of his love
I was carried above
All sin and temptation and pain,
And I could not believe
That I ever should grieve--
That I ever should suffer again.

Verse 6

I then rode on the sky,
Freely justified I,
Nor did envy Elijah his seat;
My soul mounted higher,
In a chariot of tire,
And the moon it was under my feet.

Verse 7

O the rapturous height
Of that holy delight
Which I felt in the life-giving blood,
Of my Savior possessed,
I was perfectly blest,
As if filled with the fullness of God.

Verse 8

Never more will I stray
From my Savior away,
But I’ll follow the Lamb till I die;
I will take up my cross,
And count all things but loss,
Till I meet with my Lord in the sky.

Verse 1

“Mercy, oh, thou Son of David!”
Thus blind Bartimeus prayed;
“Others by thy word are saved,
Now to me afford thine aid.”

Verse 2

Many for his crying chid him,--
But he called the louder still;
Till the gracious Savior bade him,--
“Come, and ask me what you will.”

Verse 3

Money was not what he wanted,
Though by begging used to live;
But he asked, and Jesus granted,
Alms which none but he could give.

Verse 4

“Lord! remove this grievous blindness,
Let mine eyes behold the day!”
Straight he saw, and, won by kindness,
Followed Jesus in the way.

Verse 5

Oh! methinks I hear him praising,
Publishing to all around,
“Friends! is not my case amazing?
What a Savior I have found!

Verse 6

“Oh! that all the blind but knew him,
And would be advised by me!
Surely would they hasten to him,
He would cause them all to see.”
