1
I will always rejoice;
Jesus is my song.
Everywhere I will celebrate
The gift of my Savior.
Jesus, You have written my name in heaven.
This blessing can never be taken from me;
This is my joy, my precious treasure.
2
I wandered through this world
As a stranger to Your Kingdom.
But You came to me,
Made me blessed,
And gave me entrance into Your Kingdom.
3
O glorious Savior,
You Yourself are the door to heaven.
Already I hear in my ears
The sound of heavenly songs.
4
What does it matter if I have
No honor or recognition in this world?
My divine Friend will give me
A heavenly name
And an eternal place in His Kingdom.
5
It is impossible for Satan
To erase my name.
My Jesus is mighty and will protect me;
I am His precious possession,
Purchased by His blood.
6
When the day of death draws near,
I will have no fear, sorrow, or distress.
Because Christ is my life,
Even death is gain for me.
7
When many tremble
As they hear His final judgment,
I will have no fear.
For Jesus my King will say to me,
And grant me everlasting joy.
8
Joy! Joy!
Thanks be to my God!
Jesus, You are my life,
And You alone are worthy
Of all my praise.
