Today’s hymn comes the father of hymnody, Charles Wesley. This hymn describes the joy he felt on receiving Christ and becoming a Christian. I hope this is a joy you too felt, and still do! Enjoy!

O how hap­py are they
Who the Sav­iour ob­ey,
And have laid up their trea­sure above!
Tongue can­not ex­press
The sweet com­fort and peace
Of a soul in its ear­li­est love.

That com­fort was mine,
When the fa­vor di­vine
I first found in the blood of the Lamb;
When my heart it be­lieved,
What a joy it re­ceived,
What a hea­ven in Je­sus’ name!

Jesus all the day long
Was my joy and my song;
O that all His sal­va­tion may see!
He hath loved me, I cried,
He hath suf­fered, and died,
To re­deem such a rebel as me.

O the rap­tur­ous height
Of the ho­ly de­light,
Which I felt in the life giv­ing blood!
Of my Sav­iour pos­sessed
I was per­fect­ly blest,
As if filled with the full­ness of God.
