Lyrics There's a song in my heart, 'tis Jesus, Its melody came from above; No mortal can measure its fullness, No angel can fathom its love. Its music dispels the midnight, And scatters the foes that oppress; 'Tis sunlight to all who can sing it, A joy to the soul in distress. When I sing with the saints in glory, No melody sweeter can be Than Jesus, the King of all ages, The Saviour who suffered for me. Chorus: The song of my heart is Jesus, No friend is so dear to me; He pardoned my soul forever, When He died on mount Calvary.
