73. Joyful is My Soul Today

1 I’m now rejoicing in the peace,
Which Christ alone can give;
He bids my doubts and fears to cease,
He makes it sweet to live.

Refrain:
Joyful, joyful is my soul today,
Joyful, joyful, on the upward way;
Since I sought the Saviour,
Found his pard’ning love,
Joyfully I’m trav’ling on to heav’n above.

2 I’m leaning on the blessed arms,
That never yet have failed;
I’m kept from Satan’s wild alarms,
Thro’ him that hath prevailed. [Refrain]

3 For fleeting pleasures here below,
I would no longer sigh;
‘Tis Jesus cheers me as I go—
His love can satisfy. [Refrain]

4 I would that ev’ry heart might see
The beauty of my King;
His loyal, loving subject be,
And with me gladly sing; [Refrain]

5 Dear, weary one, lay down your load—
O, cast on him your care!
Accept the blessed peace of God,
Naught can with it compare! [Refrain]
