Lyrics

There’s a song my heart is sing­ing
As I jour­ney day by day;
Thro’ my soul the words are ring­ing,
I’ll go with thee all the way.

Refrain

’Tis the mu­sic born of love,
Precious gift from above,
Sing, my soul, in ec­sta­sy,
Praise to Him who set you free.

There’s a song my heart is sing­ing
As I do my Mas­ter’s will,
To my life true glad­ness bring­ing,
As I hear His Peace, be still.

Refrain

There’s a song my heart is sing­ing,
As I tri­umph over sin,
While I to the cross am cling­ing,
Hoping still the crown to win.

Refrain

There’s a song my heart is sing­ing
And I can­not tell the joy
Jesus to my soul is bring­ing,
While His work my thoughts emp­loy.
