Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 243 hymnals Topics: Happiness of love and trust Lyrics: 1 Happy the heart where graces reign, Where love inspires the breast: Love is the brightest of the train, And strengthens all the rest. 2 Knowledge, alas! 'tis all in vain, And all in vain our fear: Our stubborn sins will fight and reign, If love be absent there. 3 'Tis love that makes our cheerful feet In swift obedience move: The devils know, and tremble too; But devils do not love. 4 This is the grace that lives and sings When faith and hope shall cease; 'Tis this shall strike our joyful strings In the sweet realms of bliss.

What thousands never knew the road!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Happiness of life in Christ Lyrics: 1 What thousands never knew the road! What thousands hate it when 'tis known! None but the upright and sincere Will seek or choose it for their own. 2 A thousand ways in ruin end, One only leads to joys on high; By that my willing steps ascend, Pleased with a journey to the sky. 3 No more I ask, or hope to find Delight or happiness below; Sorrow may well possess the mind That feeds where thorns and thistles grow. 4 The joy that fades is not for me, I seek immortal joys above; There glory, without end, shall be The bright reward of faith and love.

How happy is the man who hears

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 302 hymnals Topics: The Joy and Happiness of True Christians Lyrics: 1 How happy is the man who hears Instruction’s warning voice; And who celestial Wisdom makes his early, only, choice! 2 Wisdom has treasures greater far Than east or west unfold; And her rewards more precious are Than is the gain of gold. 3 In her right hand she holds to view A length of happy years; And in her left the prize of fame And honour bright appears. 4 She guides the young with innocence, In pleasure’s paths to tread: A crown of glory she bestows Upon the hoary head. 5 According as her labours rise, So her rewards increase; Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.
