¶Lyrics / Text

Jesus, all my gladness, my repose in sadness, Jesus, heaven to me; ah, my heart long paineth, ah, my spirit straineth, longeth after thee! Thine I am, O holy Lamb; only where thou art is pleasure, thee alone I treasure. Hence with earthly treasure: thou art all my pleasure, Jesus, my desire! Hence, for pomps I care not, e’en as though they were not rank and fortune’s hire. Want and gloom, cross, death and tomb; nought that I may suffer ever shall from Jesus sever. Flee, dark clouds that lower, for my joy bestower, Jesus, enters in! Joy from tribulation, hope from desolation, they who love God win. Be it blame or scorn or shame, thou art with me in earth’s sadness, Jesus, all my gladness.
