¤Since Je¤sus came to dwell with me,
The peace of God is mine;
His joy and glad¤ness fills my soul,
And life which is di¤vine.
In sin’s dark way I cease to roam,
For God in mer¤cy leads me home.

¤The pil¤grim way is steep and lone
When clouds ob¤scure my view,
But grace and mer¤cy bears me on,
And hope is born a¤new.
Faith speeds me on¤ward in the night,
To dwell with God in heaven’s clear light.

¤Though trib¤u¤la¤tion be my lot,
It is my Fa¤ther’s will
That I should drink with¤out com¤plaint
The cup His hand doth fill.
Earth’s bit¤ter must pre¤cede the sweet
E¤ter¤nal rest at Je¤sus feet.

¤As clay with¤in the pot¤ter’s hands,
He moulds my life each day,
He un¤der¤stands, and why should I,
His Ho¤ly will gain¤say?
A ves¤sel for His use made meet
Must needs pass through the fur¤nace heat.
