89. Bright is the day-star shining for me

1 Bright is the day-star shining for me,
Happy in the love of Jesus;
Now from my bondage grace makes me free,
Happy in the love of Jesus.

Chorus:
Praise from my full heart loudly shall ring,
Born of the Spirit, child of a King;
Heir to his glory, now will I sing,
Happy in the love of Jesus.

2 He has redeemed me, I am his own,
Happy in the love of Jesus;
Drawn by his mercy near to his throne,
Happy in the love of Jesus. [Chorus]

3 How I am honored, how I am blest,
Happy in the love of Jesus;
Under his banner sweetly I rest,
Happy in the love of Jesus. [Chorus]

4 Firm is my anchor, steadfast and sure,
Happy in the love of Jesus;
All things with patience I can endure,
Happy in the love of Jesus. [Chorus]
