What be those things that brings delight
a smile a wink a wave
a tasty treat delicious sweet
without regard to weight
A child a babe a new found wife
a husband's constant care
a friend a raise or waved green lights
when trav'ling here or there
A distant call of long lost friend
a prayer a poem a song
a writing formed or letter sent
abandoned much too long
Amusement rides of rampant joy
the pressures to relieve
the absent minded cares of life
the pleasurable reprieve
And thus the want of many most
to find themselves some rest
from grimaced face and saddened looks
their souls doth now behest
Of Savior's face at last to see
from constant years of want
to bring thee joy forevermore
relief from steadfast vaunt
And changeless cheer of pure delight
a new tune dwells within
now free from bondage of this world
that lies beneath the skin
