Author: Luther B. Bridgers Hymnal: Favorite Hymns of Praise #296 (1967) Hymnal Title: Favorite Hymns of Praise First Line: There's within my heart a melody Refrain First Line: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know Lyrics: 1 There’s within my heart a melody
Jesus whispers sweet and low,
Fear not, I am with thee, peace, be still,
In all of life’s ebb and flow.
Chorus:
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus--
Sweetest name I know,
Fills my ev'ry longing,
Keeps me singing as I go.
2 All my life was wrecked by sin and strife,
Discord filled my heart with pain,
Jesus swept across the broken strings,
Stirred the slumb’ring chords again. (Chorus)
3 Feasting on the riches of His grace,
Resting ’neath His sheltering wing,
Always looking on His smiling face,
That is why I shout and sing. (Chorus)
4 Tho' sometimes He leads thro' waters deep,
Trials fall across the way,
Tho' sometimes the path seems rough and steep,
See His footprints all the way. (Chorus)
5 Soon He’s coming back to welcome me
Far beyond the starry sky;
I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown,
I shall reign with Him on high. (Chorus)
Amen. Topics: Christ Name; Christ Name Languages: English Tune Title: [There's within my heart a melody]
