The New Church Hymnal ‎#377

377. He Keeps Me Singing

1 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.”

Refrain:
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Sweetest name I know,
Fills my ev'ry longing,
Keeps me singing as I go.

2 All my life was wrecked by sin and strife,
Discord filled my heart with pain,
Jesus swept across the broken strings,
Stirred the slumbering chords again. [Refrain]

3 Feasting on the riches of His grace,
Resting 'neath His sheltering wing,
Always looking on His smiling face,
That is why I shout and sing. [Refrain]

4 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: [Refrain]

5 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. [Refrain]
