241. How happy are they

1 How happy are they
Who the Saviour obey
And have laid up their treasure above!
Oh! what tongue can never express
The sweet comfort and peace
Of a soul in its earliest love?
Of a soul in its earliest love?

2 'Twas heaven below
My Redeemer to know,
And the angels could do nothing more
Than to fall at his feet,
And the story repeat,
And the Lover of sinners adore.

3 Then all the day long
Was my Jesus my song,
And redemption through faith in his name;
Oh that all might believe,
And salvation receive,
And their song and their joy be the same!
