So blest! So blest!
With scarlet sunset in the skies -
Birds that sing on wing so high,
The fragrance of the flowers, sweet;
And precious people that we meet.
So blest! So blest!
When music swells my heart within -
An old familiar lasting hymn;
When tiny heads are bent - hands clasp
And little voice our blessings ask.
So blest! So blest!
Simple pleasures seem much more
When we approach Eternity’s door -
Each day our hearts can thankful be
For blessed hours spent with Thee.
So blest! So very blest to be
Born in a land that’s brave and free;
Born to a family loving Thee.
The things I could not choose, but do -
Born with a heart for loving You.
So when at last, I lay me down
I’ll rise and see my robe and crown -
A Crystal Sea...and Jasper walls...
I won’t mind coming home at all
For I have been so blest!
So blest!
