Author: Mrs. J. F. Crewdson Hymnal: Beulah Songs #27 (1879) First Line: I've found a joy in sorrow Refrain First Line: 'Tis Jesus, my portion forever Lyrics: 1 I’ve found a joy in sorrow,
A secret balm for pain,
A beautiful tomorrow
Of sunshine after rain;
Refrain:
'Tis Jesus, my portion forever,
'Tis Jesus, the First and the Last;
A help very present in trouble,
A shelter from every blast.
2 I’ve found a branch of healing
Near every bitter spring;
A whispered promise stealing
O’er every broken string. [Refrain]
3 I’ve found a glad hosanna
For every woe and wail;
A handful of sweet manna
when grapes of Eschol fail. [Refrain]
4 I’ve found a Rock of Ages
When desert wells are dry;
And, after weary stages,
I’ve found an Elim nigh. [Refrain]
5 An Elim with its coolness,
Its fountains, and its shade;
A blessing in its fullness,
When buds of promise fade. [Refrain]
6 O’er tears of soft contrition
I’ve seen a rainbow light,
A glory and fruition,
So near! yet out of sight. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I've found a joy in sorrow]
