O the happiness arising
by J. Irons·1814·Meter 8.7.4
Based on Ps 144:15
1
O the happiness arising
From the life of grace within,
When the soul is realising
Conquests over hell and sin!
Happy moments!
Heavenly joys on earth begin.
2
On the Saviour's fulness living,
All his saints obtain delight;
With the strength which he is giving,
They can wrestle, they can fight.
Happy moments!
When King Jesus is in sight.
3
Nearer, nearer, to him clinging,
Let my helpless soul be found,
All my sorrows to him bringing,
May his grace in me abound;
Happy moments!
With new covenant blessings crowned.
