There my heart was satisfied;
Stilled each eager, anxious longing,
Looking at the Crucified.
Now no longer heavy laden
With the sins I cannot bear;
For my loving Savior bids me
Cast on him my ev’ry care.
All my doubts and fears I bring him,
All my sorrow, all my grief;
And his tender touch of healing
Ever gives me sweet relief.
O what peace, what joy, what comfort
In my Savior I have found,
Help, oh, help me sound his praises,
Until heav’n and earth resound.
Chorus
O the sunshine, blessed sunshine,
Flooding all my soul today;
For the precious smile of Jesus
Drives the darkness far away.
Kate Ulmer
Stand up, my soul, shake off thy fears,
And gird the gospel armor on;
March to the gates of endless joy,
Where Jesus, thy great Captain’s gone.
Hell and thy sins resist thy course,
But hell and sin are vanquished foes;
Thy Jesus nailed them to the cross,
And sung the triumph when He rose.
Then let my soul march boldly on,
Press forward to the heavenly gate;
There peace and joy eternal reign,
And glittering robes for conquerors wait.
There shall I wear a starry crown,
And triumph in almighty grace;
While all the armies of the skies
Join in my glorious Leader’s praise.
Rev. Isaac Watts
