What a happy child am I!
Now I know my sins forgiven,
And beyond the far-off sky
Have a happy home in heaven.
God, my Father, dwells above,
Jesus, too, whom I adore;
Once He died for me in love,
Now He lives for evermore.
While I live I want to be
Like a candle shining bright.
As His strength He gives to me,
Those around shall see the light.
All that I may do or say,
I would do it for His sake;
Follow Him each passing day,
Till in glory I awake.
