Melodious Sonnets ‎#80

80. True and Faithful

1 Ev’ry day my soul is happy,
For I feel my Saviour near;
‘Tis his presence makes my sunshine,
And his love destroys my fear.

Refrain:
I am content with thee, O my Saviour,
I have resolved thy will shall be mine;
Keep me faithful, true and faithful;
Fill my soul with love divine.

2 Ev’ry day, tho’ storm and sorrow
Darkly round my pathway rise,
I am looking up for comfort,
Far beyond earth’s changing skies. [Refrain]

3 Ev’ry day my home is happy,
For with Jesus I abide;
Drinking from the living fountain,
With his goodness satisfied. [Refrain]

4 Ev’ry day my hopes grow brighter,
Tho’ the hopes of earth are gone;
Ev’ry day my rest draws nearer,
As my Saviour leads me on. [Refrain]
