A Seldom Heard Hymn

How tedious and tasteless the hours
When Jesus no longer I see!
Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers,
Have all lost their sweetness to me:
The midsummer 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.

John Newton
