If Jesus be my friend,
And I to him belong,
I care not what my foes intend,
Though fierce they be, and strong.
I rest upon the ground
Of Jesus and is blood;
For I in him alone have found
The true, eternal good.
He whispers in my breast
Sweet words of holy cheer,
How all who seek in God their rest
Shall ever find him near;
How God hath built above
A city fair and new,
'Where eye and heart shall see and prove
What faith has counted true.
My heart for gladness springs;
It can not more be sad;
For very joy it smiles and sings —
Sees naught but sunshine glad.
The sun that lights mine eyes,
Is Christ, the Lord I love;
I sing for joy of that which lies
Stored up for me above.
