May I live upon thy smiles,
Till the promised hour appears,
When the sons of God shall prove
All their Father s boundless love.

True Happiness.
1 Fix my heart and eyes on thine I
What are other objects worth ?
But to see thy glory shine
Is a heaven begun on earth:
Trifles can no longer move,
Oh, I tread on all beside
When I feel my Saviour s love,
And remember how he died!
2 Now my search is at an end,
Now my wishes rove no more !
Thus my moments I would spend,
Love and wonder and adore :
Jesus, source of excellence !
All thy glorious love reveal ;
Kingdoms shall not bribe me hence
While this happiness I feel.
3 Take my heart, tis all thine own,
To thy will my spirit frame ;
Thou shalt reign, and thou alone,
Over all I have or am :
If a foolish thought shall dare
To rebel against thy word,
Slay it, Lord, and do not spare,
Let it feel thy Spirit s sword.
4 Making thus the Lord my choice,
I have nothing more to choose
But to listen to thy voice,
And my will in thine to lose :
Thus, whatever may betide,
I shall safe and happy be ;
Still content and satisfied,
Having all in having thee.
