Hymns Supplied Through the Gracious Generosity
of the Cyber Hymnal Website
Words: Johann Lindemann, 1598; translated from German to English by Catherine Winkworth, 1858.
Music: "In Dir Ist Freude," Giovanni Giacomo Gastoldi, 1593
In Thee is gladness, amid all sadness,
Jesus, sunshine of my heart.
By Thee are given the gifts of heaven,
Thou the true Redeemer art.
Our souls Thou makest, our bonds Thou breakest;
Who trusts Thee surely hath built securely,
And stands forever. Alleluia!
If God be ours, we fear no powers,
Not of earth or sin or death.
God sees and blesses in worst distresses,
And can change them in a breath.
Wherefore the story tell of God's glory
With heart and voices; all heaven rejoices,
Singing forever: Alleluia!
