Tune:[I am happy, O so happy]
Composer:Wm. J. Kirkpatrick

17. Contentment

1 I am happy, O so happy
At God’s side,
I am walking in His presence,
Satisfied.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
I am walking in His presence,
Satisfied.

2 I am drinking at the fountain
Of sweet peace,
While the blessings from my Father
Never cease.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Blessings from my heav’nly Father
Never case.

3 I will praise Him that He ever
Made me whole,
Praise Him for His sweet communion
With my soul.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Praise Him for His sweet communion
With my soul.

4 He has promised thus to lead us
All the way,
We’ll encamp in fields elysian
Some sweet day.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
We’ll encamp in fields elysian
Some sweet day.

5 We shall there behold His glory
With our eyes,
And enjoy those heights forever—
Paradise!
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
We’ll enjoy those heights forever—
Paradise!
