The Lord will hap­pi­ness di­vine
We keep the sac­red feast,
Are Thine eter­nal place,
No heal­ing balm on earth like this,
Eternal Spir­it, God of truth,

No heal­ing balm on earth like this
Beneath the cross of Je­sus
Yes, there is room for Je­sus
The love that Christ for sin­ners bore;
The liv­ing and the dead!
And its mer­cies e’er ab­ide.
And its mer­cies e’er ab­ide.
Which from Thy heart doth flow;
Are met for praise and pray­er,

con­trite heart

Then tell me, gra­cious God, is mine
Is made a wel­come guest.
Thou vis­it­est with grace.
No flat­ter­ing dreams of earth­ly bliss
Kindle a flame of heav­en­ly love,
O joy of all the meek,
No flat­ter­ing dreams of earth­ly bliss
While in His work most pre­cious
Dear Sav­ior, wait no long­er,
A heart the Sav­ior to adore.
We turn, who oft have strayed;
But He of­fers par­don o’er and o’er;
But He of­fers par­don o’er and o’er;
Who cry to Thee be­stow.
Thou, gra­cious God, art there.
