03.16. Happiness of Life

Happiness of Life Down, down in the depths of infinite love, Filled with all the fullness of God, Joy’s cup every moment filled from above, As adown life’s pathway I trod. No sin sways its scepter over my soul, God’s righteousness fills every part, His fullness of glory keeping the whole, And I love Him with all my heart.

Sing not to me of the pleasures of earth, I have found a much happier way; The joys of the Lord, of far greater worth, Are filling my life every day.

Sorrow and sighing have flown away, From trouble and care I am free, The peace of God over my heart holds sway;

I am as happy as I can be.

You are tempted, you say, and sorely tried; Of that I have nothing to say— The victory is mine whate’er may betide;

I’m happy each hour of the day. My pathway of life is now paved with peace, The flow’rs ever bloom bright and gay; A halo of light is shed around me As I walk the beautiful way.
