Be this my happy choice;
My only care, delight, and bliss,
My joy, my heaven on earth, be this,
To hear the Bridegroom’s voice.
4 O that I might, with happy John,
Recline my weary head upon
The blessed Redeemer’s breast!
From care, and fear, and sorrow free,
Give me, O Lord, to find in thee
My everlasting rest.
