1 There’s a song in my heart I am singing alway,
It fills me with comfort and cheer;
Like the chime of sweet bells sounding day after day,
‘Tis the love of my Saviour so dear.

Refrain:
Love is the song I am singing,
Down in my heart sweet and clear;
Love is the song I am singing,
The love of my Saviour dear.

2 There’s a song in my heart, O the joy that it brings,
It drives away trouble and care;
With the music of heaven unceasing it rings,
‘Tis a balm for all sorrow and despair. [Refrain]

3 There’s a song in my heart you can learn if you will,
It came from our Father above;
With new glory and gladness your soul it will fill,
If you dwell in His everlasting love. [Refrain]
