Now I Know What Makes Me Happy

Now I know what makes me hap­py

As I know what made me sad;

Christ has all my sins for­giv­en

And His Spir­it makes me glad!

Happy

al­ways hap­py

Joy in health and joy in pain!

Live your dai­ly life with Je­sus

And your joy will e’er re­main.

Now I know what makes me hap­py;

Not my com­fort or my ease

For I simp­ly walk with Je­sus

Choose my bless­èd Lord to please.

Happy

al­ways hap­py

Joy in loss­es

joy in gain!

Joy in God’s most pre­cious pro­mise

And your joy will e’er re­main.

Now I know what makes me hap­py

For He fills me with de­light

By His ut­ter­most sal­va­tion

And His strength to do the right.

Happy

al­ways hap­py

Joy in dark­ness just the same

As you walk out on His pro­mise

Blessèd joy will e’er re­main.

Now I know what makes me hap­py;

His own pre­sence in my breast

As with joy I do His bid­ding

And with Je­sus leave the rest.

Happy

al­ways hap­py

Earthly loss is heav’n­ly gain;

Joy in His de­light­ful la­bor

Joy in His eter­nal reign.
