How happy every child of grace

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 383 hymnals Topics: Strangers and Pilgrims Lyrics: 1 How happy every child of grace, Who knows his sins forgiven! This earth, he cries, is not my place, I seek my place in heaven: A country far from mortal sight Yet, O by faith I see The land of rest, the saints' delight, The heaven prepared for me. 2 A stranger in the world below, I calmly sojourn here; Nor can its happiness or woe Provoke my hope or fear. Its evils in a moment end, Its joys as soon are past; But, O the bliss to which I tend Eternally shall last! 3 To that Jerusalem above With singing I repair; While in the flesh, my hope and love, My heart and soul, are there: There my exalted Saviour stands, My merciful High Priest, And still extends His wounded hands To take me to His breast.

I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. 3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow; For I will be near thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee, thy deepest distress. 4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply. The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine. 5 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose, I will not, I will not desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never, no never, no never forsake!"
