Author: Frederick William Foster, 1760-1835; Gottfried Arnold, 1666-1714 Hymnal: Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church #370 (1969) Lyrics: 1 Bliss beyond compare,
Which in Christ I share!
He’s my only joy and treasure;
Tasteless is all worldly pleasure,
When in Christ I share
Bliss beyond compare.
2 Jesus is the Joy,
Therefore blest am I;
O His mercy is unbounded,
All my hope on Him is grounded;
Jesus is my Joy,
Therefore blest am I.
3 When the Lord appears,
This my spirit cheers;
When, His love to me revealing
He, the Sun of Grace, with healing
In His beams appears,
This my spirit cheers.
4 Then all grief is drowned;
Pure delight is found,
Joy and peace in His salvation,
Heavenly bliss and consolation.
Every grief is drowned
Where such bliss is found. Topics: The Life in Christ Joy and Peace in Believing Languages: English Tune Title: SEELENBRÄUTIGAM
