Isaac Watts - My God, The Spring of All My Joy

 MY GOD, THE SPRING OF ALL MY JOYS 

by Isaac Watts 

 My God, the spring of all my joys,

The life of my delights,

The glory of my brightest days,

And comfort of my night!

In darkest shades, if Thou appear,

My dawning is begun;

Thou art my soul's bright morning star,

And Thou my rising sun.

The opening heavens around me shine

With beams of sacred bliss,

If Jesus shows His mercy mine,

And whispers I am His.

My soul would leave this heavy clay

At that transporting word,

Run up with joy the shining way,

To see and praise my Lord.

Fearless of hell and ghastly death,

I'd break through every foe;

The wings of love and arms of faith

Would bear me conqueror through.
