O happy Christian, who can boast
“The Son of God is mine!”
Happy, though humbled in the dust,
Rich in this gift divine.
He lives the life of heaven below,
And shall forever live;
Eternal streams from Christ shall flow,
And endless vigour give.
That life we ask with bended knee,
Nor will the Lord deny;
Nor will celestial mercy see
Its humble suppliants die.
That life obtained, for praise alone
We wish continued breath;
And, taught by blest experience, own
That praise can live in death.
