Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #23 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal Lyrics: 1 My God, the spring of all my joys,
The life of my delights,
The glory of my brightest days,
And comfort of my night!
2 In darkest shades, if Thou appear,
My dawning is begun;
Thou art my soul's bright morning star,
And Thou my rising sun.
3 The opening heavens around me shine
With beams of sacred bliss,
If Jesus shows His mercy mine,
And whispers I am His.
4 My soul would leave this heavy clay
At that transporting word,
Run up with joy the shining way,
To see and praise my Lord.
5 Fearless of hell and ghastly death,
I'd break through every foe;
The wings of love and arms of faith
Would bear me conqueror through.
Amen. Topics: Worship and Praise Adoration; Joy; Peace Scripture: Psalm 35:28 Languages: English Tune Title: AZMON
