Ah! what is hap­pi­ness com­plete?
Ah! tell me, if you know;
I’d seek that won­der­ful re­treat
And to its al­tar go.

Refrain

Oh, this is hap­pi­ness com­plete:
To fall at Je­sus’ feet,
And at the blood-stained mer­cy seat
The lov­ing Christ to meet.

Yes, this is hap­pi­ness com­plete
In Je­sus Christ to rest;
He is the won­der­ful re­treat
Where you are saved and blest.

Refrain

Here is the al­tar where you may
In sweet con­tent­ment bow;
Where ev­ery sor­row flies away,
Come, and ac­cept it now.

Refrain

I hear the in­vi­ta­tion sweet;
Ah! Christ, I come to Thee,
Where hap­pi­ness is mine com­plete
To all eter­ni­ty.
