Author: J. R. Baxter, Jr. Hymnal: Hymns by the Western Stars #50 (1949) Lyrics: 1 What a wonderful feeling, Just to know He is mine, To Him humbly I'm kneeling, He is a friend divine. Refrain: What a wonderful feeling to know He is mine, Just to be a joint heir with Him brings glory divine; Ev'ry hour I would serve Him, all to Him consign, What a wonderful feeling to know He is mine. 2 O what wonderful glory, Walking with Him each day, I am singing the story, Happy along the way. [Refrain] 3 Shadows vanish before me, I can see His true light, Wings are hovering o'er me, Making the pathway bright. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [What a wonderful feeling]
