1 You ask what makes me happy
The whole day long,
Why I am always singing
A gladsome song;
Ah, well I do remember
When song began to start,
’Twas Jesus set the music
Ringing in my heart.

Chorus:
In my heart, He set the music ringing,
In my life a heav’nly gladness bringing;
Ah, well do I remember
When song began to start,
’Twas Jesus set the music
Ringing in my heart.

2 I cannot keep from singing
Since that glad day,
When Jesus took, in mercy,
Mmy sins away;
He opened up a fountain
Whence streams of gladness start,
’Twas Jesus set the music
Ringing in my heart. [Chorus]

3 His love each day is growing
More sweet to me,
Each day new grace and beauty
In Him I see;
For all this world can offer
From Him I would not part,
Since He has set the music
Ringing in my heart. [Chorus]
