So Blest

[Snowy]

So blest ! So blest...
With scarlet sunset in the skies,
Birds that sing on wing so high,
The fragrance of the flowers sweet,
And precious people that we meet.
​

So blest ! So blest...
When music swells my heart within
And old familiar lasting hymn,
When tiny heads are bent, hands clasp,
And little voice our blessings ask.
​

So blest ! So blest !
Simple pleasures seem much more
When we approach Eternity's door.
Each day our hearts can thankful be
For blessed hours spent with Thee.
​

So blest ! So very blest to be
Born in a land that's brave and free,
Born to a family loving Thee...
The things I could not choose, but do,
Born with a heart for loving You.
​

So when, at last I lay me down,
I'll rise and see my robe and crown,
A Crystal Sea, and Jasper walls.
I won't mind coming home, at all.
For, I have been so blest !
So blest !​
