I've Discovered The Way of Gladness
Words and Music by Floyd W. Hawkins

Psalm 30:11
"Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing:
thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;"

          Mankind is searching every day,
          In quest of something new;
          But I have found the living way,
          The path of pleasures true.

            Chorus
            I've discovered the way of gladness
            I've discovered the way of joy
            I've discovered relief from sadness
            'Tis a happiness without alloy;
            I've discovered the fount of blessings,
            I've discovered the "Living Word"
            'Twas the greatest of all discoveries,
            When I found Jesus my Lord.

          I've found the Pearl of greatest price,
          "Eternal life" so fair;
          'Twas through the Saviour's sacrifices,
          I found this jewel rare.

            Chorus
            I've discovered the way of gladness
            I've discovered the way of joy
            I've discovered relief from sadness
            'Tis a happiness without alloy;
            I've discovered the fount of blessings,
            I've discovered the "Living Word"
            'Twas the greatest of all discoveries,
            When I found Jesus my Lord.
