O How Happy Are They Who the Savior Obey

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 12.9.12.9 Appears in 706 hymnals First Line: O how happy are they who their Savior obey Lyrics: 1. O how happy are they Who the Savior obey, And have laid up their treasure above! Tongue cannot express The sweet comfort and peace Of a soul in its earliest love. 2. That comfort was mine, When the favor divine I first found in the blood of the Lamb; When my heart it believed, What a joy it received, What a heaven in Jesus’ name! 3. ’Twas a heaven below, My Redeemer to know, And the angels could do nothing more, Than to fall at His feet, And the story repeat, And the Lover of sinners adore. 4. Jesus all the day long Was my joy and my song; O that all His salvation may see! He hath loved me, I cried, He hath suffered, and died, To redeem such a rebel as me. 5. On the wings of His love, I was carried above All sin, and temptation, and pain; I could not believe, That I ever should grieve, That I ever should suffer again. 6. I rode on the sky, Freely justified I! Nor envied Elijah his seat; My soul mounted higher, In a chariot of fire, And the moon it was under my feet. 7. O the rapturous height Of the holy delight, Which I felt in the life giving blood! Of my Savior possessed I was perfectly blest, As if filled with the fullness of God.

Oh! had I the voice of an angel to sing

Author: Anonymous Meter: 12.9.12.9 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Oh! had I the voice of an angel to sing Of the joys that are brightest on earth, I would sing of the blessings and comforts that spring From Messiah’s miraculous birth. 2 What the law and the psalms, and the prophets of old, In full many a marvelous way, To the fathers foreshadowed, or plainly foretold, Are the wonders that meet us today. 3 Not a jot or a tittle pf Scripture shall fail; In the Lord’s holy book it is proved, That He is the Savior, whose advent we hail, Our God, to be worshipped and loved. 4 Son of God, Son of man, David’s son, David’s Lord, Full of mercy, yet righteous and just, The truths that shine forth in Thine own written word, I receive with submission and trust. 5 As the angels from Heav’n were sent down to proclaim, Good news on this glorious morn, And shepherds and sages all joyfully came To the stable where Jesus was born. 6 Let me copy the angels in reverence and love, With the shepherds obedient be found; And, guiding my way by the light from above, Like the wise in true knowledge abound.
