In thee is gladness amid all sadness,
Jesus, sunshine of my heart!
By thee are given the gifts of heaven,
thou the true redeemer art!
Our souls thou wakest,
our bond thou breakest,
who trusts thee surely hath built securely,
and stands forever: Hallelujah!
Our hearts are pining to see thy shining,
dying or living to thee are cleaving,
naught can us sever:
If he is ours we fear no powers,
nor of earth, nor sin, nor death.
He sees and blesses in worst distresses,
he can change them with a breath!
Wherefore the story, tell of his glory,
with heart and voices
all heaven rejoices in him forever:
We shout for gladness,
triumph over sadness,
love thee and praise thee,
and still shall raise thee
glad hymns forever:
