-{{Text|English|
-How tedious and tasteless the hours,
-When Jesus no longer I see;
-Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers,
-Have lost all their sweetness with me.
-The mid–summer sun shines but dim,
-The fields strive in vain to look gay;
-But when I am happy in Him,
-December’s as pleasant as May.
-His name yields the richest perfume,
-And sweeter than music his voice;
-His presence disperses my gloom,
-And makes all within me rejoice:}}
-{{middle|3}}
-{{Text|Simple|
-I should, were he always thus nigh,
-Have nothing to wish or to fear;
-No mortal so happy as I,
-My summer would last all the year.
-Content with beholding his face,
-My all to his pleasure resigned;
-No changes of season or place,
-Would make any change in my mind:
-While blessed with a sense of his love,
-A palace a toy would appear;
-And prisons would palaces prove,
-If Jesus would dwell with me there.}}
-{{middle|3}}
-{{Text|Simple|
-Dear Lord, if indeed I am thine,
-If thou art my sun and my song;
-Say, why do I languish and pine,
-And why are my winters so long?
-O drive these dark clouds from my sky,
-Thy soul–cheering presence restore;
-Or take me unto thee on high,
-Where winter and clouds are no more.}}
