The presence of my Saviour

Verse 1
The presence of my Saviour
Doth every good contain,
And in thy heart-felt favor
Eternal life I gain:
If Thou to me art given,
The true felicity,
The joy of earth and heaven
I find compriz’d in Thee.

Verse 2
No more can I require,
Of God in Christ possest;
Thou art my whole desire
And in thy love I rest:
Blest with thy love’s fruition,
I taste th’ extatic grace,
And now injoy the Vision
Of God in Jesus Face!
