Sheet music
- 1How happy are they who the Savior obey,And have laid up their treasures above!Tongue cannot express the sweet comfort and peaceOf a soul in its earliest love,Of a soul in its earliest love.’Tis a heaven below my Redeemer to know;And the angels can do nothing moreThan to fall at His feet, and the story repeat,And the Lover of sinners adore,And the Lover of sinners adore.
- 2Now my remnant of days will I spend to his praise,Who has died, me from sin to redeem;Whether many or few, all my years are His due-They shall all be devoted to Him,They shall all be devoted to Him.
