513. In You Is Gladness

1 In you is gladness amid all sadness,
Jesus, sunshine of my heart.
By you are given the gifts of heaven,
you the true Redeemer are.
Our souls are waking, our bonds are breaking;
who trusts you surely has built securely
and stands forever. Alleluia!
Our hearts are pining to see your shining,
dying or living to you are clinging
now and forever. Alleluia!

2 If he is ours, we fear no powers,
not of earth or sin or death.
He sees and blesses in worst distresses;
he can change them with a breath.
Wherefore the story tell of his glory
with heart and voices; all heav'n rejoices
in him forever. Alleluia!
We shout for gladness, win over sadness,
love him and praise him and still shall raise him
glad hymns forever. Alleluia!
