Representative Text

1 Sweetly I trust in my Redeemer as I go singing on my way,
So happy am I, (Yes, so happy now) yes happy am I; (very happy now;)
Ever I know that He is with me keeping my soul from day to day,
So happy am I, (Happy now am I,) yes, happy am I.

Refrain:
Happy am I with my Redeemer, singing along the homeward way,
And telling the lost of His great love; (of His great mercy;)
Happy am I to know He's with me, (I'm always happy,) keeping me spotless day by day, (yes day by day,)
I'm happy along the way to Heav'n above. (Yes, I'm happy along the way, along the journey.)

2 Sweetly I sing along the journey, helping the lost to know His love,
So happy am I, (Yes, so happy now) yes happy am I; (very happy now;)
Hoping to meet Him in the morning in that sweet happy home above.
So happy am I, (Happy now am I,) yes, happy am I. [Refrain]

3 Looking for Him most any moment, ready when Jesus shall appear,
So happy am I, (Yes, so happy now) yes happy am I; (very happy now;)
Keeping my lamp all trimmed and burning, feeling His coming now is near,
So happy am I, (Happy now am I,) yes, happy am I. [Refrain]
