Happiness of Life

Down, down in the depths of infinite love,
Filled with all the fullness of God,
Joy’s cup every moment filled from above,
As adown life’s pathway I trod.

No sin sways its scepter over my soul,
God’s righteousness fills every part,
His fullness of glory keeping the whole,
And I love Him with all my heart.

Sing not to me of the pleasures of earth,
I have found a much happier way;
The joys of the Lord, of far greater worth,
Are filling my life every day.

Sorrow and sighing have flown away,
From trouble and care I am free,
The peace of God over my heart holds sway;
I am as happy as I can be.

You are tempted, you say, and sorely tried;
Of that I have nothing to say—
The victory is mine whate’er may betide;
I’m happy each hour of the day.

My pathway of life is now paved with peace,
The flow’rs ever bloom bright and gay;
A halo of light is shed around me
As I walk the beautiful way.
