Jēzus mans prieks,
manas sirds ganības,
Jēzus mans tērps,
ak, jau cik ilgi šai sirdij
ir skumji un tā vēlas Tevi.
Tavs aizsegs aizsargā mani no visiem uzbrukumiem
un naidnieku pārestībām un, lai ārdās Sātans un,
lai ir dusmīgi ienaidnieki, ar mani ir Jēzus.
Lai arī viss laistās zibeņos un grand pērkona dārdos,
kaut grēks un elle baida mani - Jēzus ir patvērums mans.
Tāpēc, ka dzīve Kristū atbrīvoja mani no grēka un Nāves likuma.
Prom senā Čūska, topi ienīsts, nāves dzeloni. Es atmetusi bailes!
Trako pasaule un lēkā, bet es stāvu nesatricināmā mierā.
Dievs ar spēku savu pacel mani, zeme un elle apklust,
kaut arī nebeidz tie rūkt.
Bet jūs ne miesā dzīvojat, bet garā, ja tikai Dieva gars dzīvo jūsos.
Bet, ja kādam Kristus gara nav, tad garam tas arī nav.
Atstāju uz zemes nievas un ņirgas,
bet Tu ar mani gan skumjās un bēdās.
Jēzus - manas laimes prieks!
