A glorious blessing bestowed upon me,
Salvation, the joy of my heart;
The theme of my song and forever shall be,
To me Thy rich graces impart.
The waves of devotion are flooding my soul,
[The waves of devotion rebound in my soul,]
And sparkle so bright in the sun;
I drink of that fountain, oh, glory, I’m whole!
My Eden on earth has begun.
Salvation, oh, glory! its rapture I feel—
A current of heavenly bliss;
My soul is delighted, I cannot conceal
The deep-seated joy I possess.
The waves of devotion are flooding my soul,
[The waves of devotion rebound in my soul,]
And sparkle so bright in the sun;
I drink of that fountain, oh, glory, I’m whole!
My Eden on earth has begun.
My pathway is bright as the cloudless noonday,
My peace like a river that flows;
Upon me such blessings are showered alway,
Which grace in profusion bestows.
The waves of devotion are flooding my soul,
[The waves of devotion rebound in my soul,]
And sparkle so bright in the sun;
I drink of that fountain, oh, glory, I’m whole!
My Eden on earth has begun.
More precious, more priceless, than rubies of earth
His fullness of infinite love;
He's filling my heart with it's treasures untold,
I’m feasting with Him from above.
The waves of devotion are flooding my soul,
[The waves of devotion rebound in my soul,]
And sparkle so bright in the sun;
I drink of that fountain, oh, glory, I’m whole!
My Eden on earth has begun.
---Alternative verses---
More precious, more priceless, than rubies of earth
His fullness of infinite love;
Transported, communing with Jesus, what worth!
I’m feasting with Him from above.
The waves of devotion are flooding my soul,
[The waves of devotion rebound in my soul,]
And sparkle so bright in the sun;
I drink of that fountain, oh, glory, I’m whole!
My Eden on earth has begun.
