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 bonds Thou breakest,
Who trusts Thee surely
Hath built securely,
He stands for ever:
Hallelujah.
Our hearts are pining
To see Thy shining,
Dying or living
To Thee are cleaving,
Nought can us sever;
Hallelujah.
If He is ours,
We fear no powers
Of earth or Satan, sin or 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 for ever;
Hallelujah.
We triumph o'er sadness,
We sing in our gladness,
We love Thee, we praise Thee,
And yonder shall raise Thee,
Glad hymns for ever;
Hallelujah.
