Original text and translations

English text

1. You ask me where I get the joys
That make my heart so light,
Which all the gloom of day destroys,
And gives me songs at night.

Chorus
Hallelujah! I belong to the King,
I am saved now and I have a right to sing.
For the light from heaven fills my soul,
And the night has passed away.

2. It is not wealth of land or gold,
Nor health or honored fame,
But joys of heaven in my soul,
A heaven in Jesus’ name.

3. I once was full of anxious fear,
I tried, but failed to see
That all I needed was so near,
The Christ that died for me.

4. I counted much upon my state
Of goodness, sense, and birth;
These only added to my fate,
They had no place or worth.
