I’m happy sitting here, alone with God,
A sure and glorious future is in view;
One only thought of sadness drags me back -
A weary, ceaseless longing after you!
I know the precious blood has cleansed my soul;
I know the words of peace for me are true;
I have a changeless Friend for evermore,
But oh, I want this happiness for you!
The Bible words are living truth to me
Each day revealing wonders ever new.
Yes! I can feed my soul upon the Word,
But oh, I want to have it thus for you!
Though cloudy days in this life often come,
The sky above my soul is always blue;
Nothing around disturbs my peace within -
I long - oh, how I long! - for it for you!
Earth’s joys are broken cisterns at the best;
You’ve tried them and you know the Word is true;
One Fountain only never fails the soul -
Oh, could I see its waters proved by you!
