1. There’s a joy in my heart that shall ever abide,
‘Tis a joy to the world that’s unknown;
For, in undying love Jesus came seeking me,
And He bro’t me again to His own.
Chorus:
O the sweet (O the sweet and) and precious joy He gives,
As I walk by His side day by day, (day by day,)
In my heart…..the blessed Savior lives, (in my heart)
And His love brightens all the way.
2. I am walking with Jesus in fellowship sweet,
And His glory sweeps over my soul;
All my burdens and sorrows I lay at His feet,
And my spirit is ev’ry whit whole.
3. Sin can harm me no more, for my Savior and Guide
Is so near me I never can stray;
In His care and protection I safely abide,
And His love shelters me ev’ry day.
