In Thee is gladness

Amid all sadness,

Jesus, Sunshine of my heart!

By Thee are given

The gifts of heaven,

Thou the true Redeemer art!

Our souls Thou wakest, Our bonds Thou breakest,

Who trusts Thee surely Hath built securely,

He stands forever: Hallelujah!

Our hearts are pining To see Thy shining,

Dying or living To Thee are cleaving,

Nought can us sever: Hallelujah!

If He is ours

We fear no powers,

Nor of earth, nor sin, nor death;

He sees and blesses

In worst distresses,

He can change them with a breath!

Wherefore the story tell of His glory

With heart and voices; all heaven rejoices

In Him for ever: Hallelujah!

We shout for gladness, triumph o'er sadness,

Love Thee and praise Thee, and still shall raise Thee

Glad hymns for ever: Hallelujah!
