"Original Sacred Harp" (Denson Revision) 1960 Edition ‎#75

75. I would see Jesus when the flow'rs

1 I would see Jesus when the flow'rs Of joy adorn my way; When sunshine and when hope surrounds My path from day to day. When friends I cherish most are near, And hearts encircle mine, Then, Father, would I turn from all To lean alone on Thine. 2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Behold I freely give The living water, thirsty one; stoop down and drink and live!" I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in Him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's light, Look unto me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright!" I looked to Jesus, and I found In Him my star, my sun; And in that light of life I'll walk, Till trav'ling days are done.
