1 My Father is with me to guide and to bless;
There’s joy in my heart,
There’s joy in my heart;
For safely He’ll lead thro’ this world’s wilderness,
And from me He will never depart.

Refrain:
There’s joy in my heart today;
When Jesus is near no danger I fear;
His presence will be my stay;
There’s joy in my heart today.

2 Thro’ storm and thro’ tempest whatever betide,
There’s joy in my heart,
There’s joy in my heart;
For Jesus my Savior walks close by my side,
And His presence sweet peace will impart. [Refrain]

3 He’s promised to help me when earth’s helpers fail,
There’s joy in my heart,
There’s joy in my heart;
For well do I know that His love will prevail,
Brining comfort and peace to my heart. [Refrain]
