1 In you is gladness
Amid all sadness,
Jesus, sunshine of my heart.
By you are given
The gifts of heaven,
You the true Redeemer are.
Our souls are waking;
Our bonds are breaking.
Who trusts you surely
Has built securely
And stands forever. Alleluia!
Our hearts are pining
To see your shining,
Dying or living
To you are cleaving
Now and forever. Alleluia!
2 If he is ours,
We fear no powers,
Not of earth or 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 hearts and voices;
All heav'n rejoices
In him forever. Alleluia!
We shout for gladness,
Win over sadness,
Love him and praise him
And still shall raise him
Glad hymns forever. Alleluia!
