The Joy Bells of Canaan or Burning Bush Songs No. 2 ‎#104

104. I Have Found the Blessing

1 I have found the “second blessing,”
I am happy in the Lord,
I have reached the cleansing fountain
Thro’ the everlasting Word;
I have crossed the river Jordan
At the blessed Lord’s command,
And I sing the song of triumph
In the welcome promised land.

Refrain:
I’m abiding now with Jesus,
I am sanctified and free;
I have found the “second blessing,”
And the Lord abides with me.

2 I have found the “second blessing,”
I have lost the “carnal mind,”
I am free from care and fretting,
Doubts and fears are left behind;
I am living in the sunlight
Of His precious “perfect Love,”
And my heart is filled with praises
To the blessed One above. [Refrain]

3 I have found the “second blessing,”
I am cleansed from inbred sin,
I am crucified with Jesus,
And His Spirit dwells within;
I am in the land of Canaan
Where the golden sunlight falls,
“And I sing the song of triumph,”
While we’re shouting down the walls. [Refrain]

4 I have found the “second blessing,”
I am filled with perfect Love,
I am ready for my mansion,
In the blessed home above;
I am ready for life’s battle,
Or I’m ready to depart,
For I’m sanctified and happy,
With the Savior in my heart. [Refrain]
