Livets ord
The Highest Joy
Author: Nils Frykman; Signe L. Bennett Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: The highest joy that can be known Lyrics: 1. The highest joy that can be known
To those who heav’nward wend—
It is the Word of Life to own,
And God to have as friend;
It is the Word of Life to own,
And God to have as friend.
2. The Word doth give me wealth untold,
All good it has in store;
My deepest sorrows lose their hold
To joys forevermore;
My deepest sorrows loose their hold
To joys forevermore.
3. How often when in deep despair
My soul has been restored,
And when the tempter would ensnare
’Twould strength to stand afford;
And when the tempter would ensnare
’Twould strength to stand afford.
4. It tells me of a love divine,
How Jesus’ blood was shed;
Each day this joyous song is mine
As paths of grace I tread;
Each day this joyous song is mine
As paths of grace I tread.
5. When stars above shall shine no more
God’s Word is still my light;
When pleasures of this world are o’er,
My joys shall reach their height;
When pleasures of this world are o’er,
My joys shall reach their height. Used With Tune: [The highest joy that can be known] Text Sources: Pilgrimstoner, 1886; Translation: The Covenant Hymnal, 1931
