9. Since Jesus Smiles On Me

1 A heav’nly radiance fills my soul,
Since Jesus smiled on me,
I shall not fear, though death be near,
Since Jesus smiled on me.

Refrain:
Since Jesus smiled on me,
Since Jesus smiled on me,
With heart and voice, I now rejoice,
Since Jesus smiled on me.

2 My doubts and fears have passed away,
Since Jesus smiled on me,
With holy light, my heart is bright,
Since Jesus smiled on me. [Refrain]

3 My load of sin, has rolled away,
Since Jesus smiled on me,
And earthly fame, I count but shame,
Since Jesus smiled on me. [Refrain]

4 My name is on the heav’nly roll,
Since Jesus smiled on me,
I fain would show, the bliss I know,
Since Jesus smiled on me. [Refrain]
