Music in My Soul

Author: F. E. B. Hymnal: Christ in Song #231 (1908) Hymnal Title: Christ in Song First Line: My heart's a tuneful harp when Christ abides within Refrain First Line: O there's music, sweetest music Lyrics: 1 My heart's a tuneful harp when Christ abides within, There's music in the name of Jesus; But Satan always strikes the chords of doubt and sin; I love the gentle touch of Jesus. Chorus: O there's music, sweetest music, There's music in the name of Jesus; O there's music, heav'nly music, With Jesus in my soul. 2 How cheering is the voice of heav'nly melody! How diff'rent is the world's complaining! And we may make the choice of what this life shall be, With promise of the life remaining. [Chorus] 3 When we are dead to Self, then are we dead to sin; "An undivided heart," says Jesus; Till then the Prince of Peace cannot abide within, With Self there is no room for Jesus. [Chorus] 4 Don't bind the giant down, nor lay him on the shelf, Nor leave him dead on Sini's mountain; There's only one sure way to ride the heart of Self, A burial deep in Calv'ry's fountain. [Chorus] 5 Then Love begins her life of work, and song, and prayer, With not a moment lost in sighing; To save a dying world, is all her tho't and care For love is more than self denying. [Chorus] Topics: Christ Praise to Christ; Christ Praise to Christ Languages: English Tune Title: [My heart's a tuneful harp when Christ abides within]

F. E. Belden

1858 - 1945 Person Name: F. E. B. Hymnal Title: Christ in Song Author of "Music in My Soul" in Christ in Song Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also wrote songs for evang­el­ist Bil­ly Sun­day. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan. N.N., Hymnary. Source: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/bio/b/e/l/belden_fe.htm
