Lyrics

My faith gives joy and sweetest rest,
Leads me to heaven and the blest,
To Thee, my God and Father.
The comfort of mortality
Preserve with steadfast faith in me;
I'd follow Thee forever.
Salvation is the noblest part;
Impress this deeply on my heart.

Lord, for Thy fold Thou dost prepare
A right unto Thy kingdom there,
A treasure and possession.
The second death I need not fear,
For immortality is near;
Thy death gives us salvation.
I am redeemed! Thy mortal pain
Has brought for me eternal gain.

My praise and thanks I give to Thee,
For through Thy grace Thou makest me
An heir by Thy adoption.
Within the Word Thy truth I find
Which sanctifies my life and mind
And brings me to perfection.
Yes, born anew in heart I feel;
Thy Spirit, Lord, does this reveal.

Thy holy Word does teachings give
In faith, and hope, and love to live;
For this, O, Lord, I thank Thee.
Should I not seek within this time
A foretaste of the joys divine
And for Thy home prepare me?
Salvation is the noblest part;
Impress this deeply on my heart.
