1 There’s a joy that no thought can express,
And a rapture no words can define;
But it thrills every chord in my soul,
For I know, blessed Lord, I am Thine.

Refrain:
I am Thine, wholly Thine,
And my all to Thy will I resign;
I am Thine, wholly Thine,
Through the gift of Thy grace I am Thine.

2 There’s a joy that is born not of earth,
And it tells me, in language divine;
That I live in the breath of Thy love,
As the branch draws its life from the vine. [Refrain]

3 There’s a joy that no sorrow can reach,
For it sweeps every cloud from the sky;
How it breaks in the midnight of gloom!
And its light is the smile of Thine eye. [Refrain]

4 O that joy in my heart will I sing,
Till I rise in Thy likeness to shine;
Then for ever and ever proclaim,
Thro' the gift of Thy grace I am Thine. [Refrain]
