Joy Is A Fruit That Will Not Grow
In Nature’s Barren Soil;
All We Can Boast, Till Christ We Know,
Is Vanity And Toil.
But Where The Lord Has Planted Grace;
And Made His Glories Known;
There Fruits Of Heavenly Joy And Peace
Are Found, And There Alone.
A Bleeding Savior Seen By Faith,
A Sense Of Pardoning Love;
A Hope That Triumphs Over Death,
Give Joys Like Those Above.
To Take A Glimpse Within The Veil,
To Know That God Is Mine;
Are Springs Of Joy That Never Fail,
Unspeakably Divine!
These Are The Joys Which Satisfy,
And Sanctify The Mind;
Which Make The Spirit Mount On High,
And Leave The World Behind.
No More, Believers, Mourn Your Lot,
But If You Are The Lord’s;
Resign To Them That Know Him Not,
Such Joys As Earth Affords.
