You ask what makes me happy
The whole day long,
Why I am always singing
A gladsome song;
Ah, well I do remember
When song began to start,
’Twas Jesus set the music
Ringing in my heart.

Refrain

In my heart,
He set the music ringing,
In my life
A heav’nly gladness bringing;
Ah, well do I remember
When song began to start,
’Twas Jesus set the music ringing,
Ringing in my heart.

I cannot keep from singing
Since that glad day,
When Jesus took, in mercy,
My sins away;
He opened up a fountain
Whence streams of gladness start,
’Twas Jesus set the music
Ringing in my heart.

Refrain

His love each day is growing
More sweet to me,
Each day new grace and beauty
In Him I see;
For all this world can offer
From Him I would not part,
Since He has set the music
Ringing in my heart.

Refrain
