Hymns - The Smile of Jesus - Текст песни

Sweet is the face of nature
When flowers deck the vales,
When air is filled with fragrance,
As wafted by the gales;
Yet zephyrs vainly fan me,
And flow'rs to groves invite,
Without the smile of Jesus,
They give me no delight.
Without the smile of Jesus,
They give me no delight

Sweet are the shady bowers,
The silent, still retreat;
The sunshine after showers,
And morning air so sweet;
But vain are natures beauties,
And lost her sweets to me;
Dear Jesus naught can charm me
Without a smile from thee.
Dear Jesus naught can charm me
Without a smile from thee.

Jesus, Thy smile of mercy
Can make my spirit whole;
And drive the shades of sadness
From my afflicted soul.
O pardon my transgressions,
And purify my heart;
Speak all my sins forgiven,
And bid my fears depart.
Speak all my sins forgiven,
And bid my fears depart.
