Tune:[Happy in the Lord my Saviour]
Composer:Wm. J. Kirkpatrick

51. Happy in the Lord My Saviour

1 Happy in the Lord my Saviour,
Happy as a heart can be;
Walking in the light that shineth
Ever like a star for me.

Chorus:
Precious are the words of comfort,
Whispered from the world apart;
"Blessed are the poor in spirit,"
"Blessed are the pure in heart."

2 Happy in the Lord my Saviour,
Trusting him from hour to hour;
Leaning on his arm of mercy,
Fearing not the tempter's power. [Chorus]

3 Happy in the Lord my Saviour,
Happy when the skies are bright;
Happy though the clouds may gather,
Happy in the deepest night. [Chorus]

4 Glory to the Lord my Saviour,
Glory to the Lord my King;
Happy in a full salvation,
Glory to his name I sing. [Chorus]
