Lyrics

How tedious and tasteless the hours
When Jesus no longer I see!
Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers
Have lost all their sweetness to me
The midsummer sun shines but dim
The fields strive in vain to look gay
But when I am happy in him
December's as pleasant as May
His name yields the sweetest perfume
And sweeter than music his voice
His presence disperses my gloom
And makes all within me rejoice
I should weary always thus
I have nothing to wish or to fear
No mortal as happy as I
My summer would last all the year
Content with beholding his face
My all to his pleasure resigned
No changes of season or place
Would make any change in my mind
While blest with a sense of his love
A palace a toy would appear
And prisons would palaces prove
If Jesus would dwell with me there
Dear Lord, if indeed I am thine
If thou art my sun and my song
Say, why do I languish and pine?
And why are my winters so long?
O drive these dark clouds from my sky
Thy soul-cheering presence restore
Or take me to the upper high
Where winter and clouds are no more!
