Representative Text

1 O the joy, the bliss divine,
Savior, blessed Savior,
Thus to know and call Thee mine,
Savior, blessed Savior.

Refrain:
Not a sorrow, not a care,
Thou dost all my burdens bear,
While Thy constant love I share,
Savior, blessed Savior.

2 Once my path was dark as night,
Savior, blessed Savior,
Now Thy presence makes it bright,
Savior, blessed Savior. [Refrain]

3 Thou did’st give Thy life for me,
Savior, blessed Savior,
Now I give my all to Thee,
Savior, blessed Savior. [Refrain]

4 Make me stronger, day by day,
Savior, blessed Savior,
Still to run the heav’nly way,
Savior, blessed Savior. [Refrain]
