O the happiness arising

1 O the happiness arising
From the life of grace within,
When the soul is realising
Conquests over hell and sin!
Happy moments!
Heavenly joys on earth begin.

2 On the Saviour’s fulness living,
All his saints obtain delight;
With the strength which he is giving,
They can wrestle, they can fight.
Happy moments!
When King Jesus is in sight.

3 Nearer, nearer, to him clinging,
Let my helpless soul be found,
All my sorrows to him bringing,
May his grace in me abound;
Happy moments!
With new covenant blessings crowned.
