I am content! My Jesus ever lives, in whom my heart is pleased. He has fulfilled the Law of God for me, God’s wrath He has appeased. Since He in death could perish never, I also shall not die forever. I am content! I am content!
I am content! My Jesus is my head; His member I shall be. He bowed His head when on the cross He died with cries of agony. Now death is brought into subjection for me by Jesus’ resurrection. I am content! I am content!
I am content! My Jesus is my light, my radiant sun of grace. His cheering rays beam blessings forth for all, sweet comfort, hope and peace. This Easter sun has brought salvation and everlasting exultation. I am content! I am content!
I am content! At length I shall be free, awakened from the dead, arising glorious evermore to be with You, my living head. The chains that hold my body, sever; Then shall my soul rejoice forever. I am content! I am content!
Hymn text by Johann J. Moller, 1600-1733
“And He [Jesus] said to them, “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead on the third day, and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.” Luke 24:46-47
OOOOOPS. Moller may have had a long life, but not that long! He died in 1673.
