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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
