And he has made me glad.

The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down, and drink, and live."

Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in him.

"I am this dark world’s light;
Look unto me, thy morn shall rise,
And all thy day be bright."

In him my star, my sun;
And in that light of life I’ll walk
Till trav'ling days are done.

And "Father, Abba Father!" cry.

in paths of truth and grace.

drives all my fears away.

will still my table spread;
my cup with blessings overflows;
his oil anoints my head.

attend me all my days;

and all my work be praise.
There would I find a settled rest
while others go and come,
no more a stranger or a guest,
but like a child at home.

War against the King supreme?

Their dominion let us break,
Let us cast their yoke away,

And on Zion's holy hill
My Anointed I maintain,
And on Zion's holy hill
My Anointed I maintain.

Thou art My beloved Son,
Yea, I have begotten Thee.
All the earth at Thy request
I will give Thee for Thy own;
Then Thy might shall be confessed
And Thy foes be overthrown,
Then Thy might shall be confessed
And Thy foes be overthrown.
4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear;
Hearken, judges of the earth;
Learn to serve the Lord with fear,
Mingle trembling with your mirth.

'Glory be to God Most High!'"
