Hymn 843
There's within my heart a melody
Meter: 9.7.9.7. &Ref
Scripture: Matt. 28:20
There's within my heart a melody
Jesus whispers sweet and low
“Fear not, I am with thee, peace be still"
In all of life’s ebb and flow.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Sweetest name I know
Fills my ev’ry longing
Keeps me singing as I go.
All my life was wrecked by sin and strife
Discord filled my heart with pain
Jesus Swept across the broken strings
Stirred the slumb'ring chords again.
Feasting on the riches of His grace
Resting ‘neath His shelt‘ring wing
Always locating on His Smiling face
That is why I shout and sing.
Though sometimes He leads through waters deep
Trials fall across the way
Though sometimes the path seems rough and steep
See His footprints all the way.
Soon He's coming back to welcome me
Far beyond the starry sky;
I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown;
I shall reign with Him on high.
