When for me the sunlight gleams,
And life’s fairest flowers bloom,
Joy into my bosom streams,
Driving our the mists and gloom;
When the skies are bright and fair,
And sweet music fills the air.
Then I’ll praise His name so dear:
Jesus! Jesus! Light of life to me!
Jesus! Jesus! Love so full and free.
When the fondest hope shall die,
And like roses scatters lie,
When my heart, bowed down with grief,
Sadly sighs for some relief;
To His tender, loving heart
Would I then my grief impart;
Then I rest sweet rest shall find:
Jesus! Jesus! Light of life to me!
Jesus! Jesus! Love so full and free!
When for me the end shall come,
And from earthly scenes I glide;
When my bark drifts slowly out,
O’er the river’s sullen tide;
When my raptured vision falls
On the fair, celestial walls,
Joy and peace shall the be mine:
Jesus! Jesus! I shall ever see;
Jesus! Jesus! Through eternity!
