Representative Text

1 A happy song is in my soul,
And it I sing along the way,
In praise of Him who made me whole
And keeps me glad from day to day.

Refrain:
I sing of love divine and free,
The love that does so much for me;
And it I'll praise while here I roam,
And ever more when I get home!

2 He never fails to give me cheer,
When dreary is the homeward way,
For all the while He lingers near
To fill my needs from day to day. [Refrain]

3 Oh, when I reach the land above,
What rapture it will be to sing
Of His divine redeeming love,
And reigh with my eternal King! [Refrain]
