I’m happy in salvation; I’m happy in the Lord;
He forgave my sins, and now He teaches me His Word.
I’ve a living hope that holds me up and gives me peace:
’Tis that I soon shall see my Savior as He is.
O Jesus is my Shepherd; I nothing here shall lack.
All things serve me for my best
and naught can set me back.
How can I be fearful for the valley dark and cold?
For through it Jesus leads His sheep into the fold.
Soon He is coming; O happy, glorious day!
Then for Jesus’ bride shall all her sorrows pass away.
Think what rejoicing will arise from all of them
Who then may move into the New Jerusalem!
Yes, Jesus is my fortress; a mighty Rock is He,
And a mighty Helper who in trials strengthens me.
Even if the seas do rage and mountains start to shake,
I still have peace, for I in Him my refuge take.
Soon He is coming; O happy, glorious day!
Then for Jesus’ bride shall all her sorrows pass away.
Think what rejoicing will arise from all of them
Who then may move into the New Jerusalem!
I’m happy in my Savior; He makes my heart to sing.
From the tearful valley shall flow forth a blessed spring.
In my need and sorrow has my heart a comfort found:
The time is near that we shall hear the trumpet sound.
Then He is coming; O happy, glorious day!
Then for Jesus’ bride shall all her sorrows pass away.
Think what rejoicing will arise from all of them
Who then may move into the New Jerusalem!
