1 In my heart there rings a song of gladness,
Praises rise unceasing to my King;
By His love He banishes my sadness,
And my lips His praises ever sing.

Refrain:
Ringing, my heart is ringing with His praise,
Singing, my lips are singing all the days,
Come what may of good or ill,
I will shout His praises still,
For my heart is ringing with His praise.

2 In my heart there is a peace abiding,
Peace which nothing ever can destroy;
While in Jesus’ love I am confiding,
Earthly cares can nevermore annoy. [Refrain]

3 In my heart is joy which knows no measure,
That is why such songs of praise abound,
Oh, that all the world could know the treasure,
Which in Christ the Saviour I have found. [Refrain]

4 Oh, the joy which in my heart is ringing,
Springs from fountains of eternal love,
And the song my lips are always singing,
Is a hymn of praise to God above. [Refrain]
