The Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 14:17

There is gladness in my heart today, today,
A peace I cannot tell,
For the Spirit of the Lord now dwells within,
And with my soul ’tis well.
There is gladness in my heart today,
Which peace and joy impart,
For the Spirit of the Lord has come to stay,
There’s gladness in my heart.
There is comfort in my heart today, today,
A joy that constant springs,
For the Comforter has come to keep my soul,
And love and gladness brings.
There is comfort in my heart today,
Which peace and joy impart,
For the Spirit of the Lord has come to stay,
There’s comfort in my heart.
There is sunshine in my heart today, today,
A light that satisfies;
For my soul has found a home in Christ the Lord,
And to His bosom flies.
There is sunshine in my heart today,
Which peace and joy impart,
For the Spirit of the Lord has come to stay,
There’s sunshine in my heart.
