[The presence of my Saviour]

The presence of my Saviour
Doth every good contain;
And in Thy heart-felt favour
Eternal life I gain.
If Thou to me art given,
The true felicity,
The joy of earth and heaven
I find comprised in Thee.
No more can I require,
Of God in Christ possess'd;
Thou art my whole desire,
And in Thy love I rest.
Bless'd with Thy love's fruition,
I taste the' ecstatic grace;
And now enjoy the vision
Of God in Jesu's face.
