Song #53

"Lyklig" You
For this you must learn a Swedish word,
Lyklig could be translated "fortunate,"
but that is too long, or "lucky" but that is
too flippant sounding. So, learn Lyklig

1)
Lyklig you, who the Lord Jesus have found
Lyklig you, who have your joy in God
Lyklig you, when the dawn of grace appears
Lyklig you, who are children of God

(chor) Lyklig, Lyklig, Lyklig
Lyklig, Lyklig, Lyklig
Lyklig, Lyklig, Lyklig, you

2)
Lyklig you, whose mind turns from the world
Lyklig you, who know the greater blessing
Lyklig you, who are not beset by the vanity
For there is found true Lyklig

3)
Lyklig you, in all the changes of time
Lyklig you, when the world abuses you
Lyklig you, when you take up the Scriptures
Thereby you have joy and gladness

4)
Lyklig you, when you have recourse to Jesus
When all troubles and all which weighs you down
And you receive His love in all its fullness
Leading you up to the better place

5)
Lyklig you, when all unbelief is removed
Laying open the way to your heart
Lyklig are you, when at the Spirit's urging
Free of unbelief, prepared for the fight

6)
Lyklig you, when you flee to prayer
When all troubles and all which weighs you down
By the Spirit's sword, sin and unbelief are defeated
And must depart when you in Jesus trust

7)
Lyklig you, your reward is great on earth
Lyklig you, your joy in heaven as well
You have gained in worth a thousandfold
When you have a friend in Jesus
