1 In my heart there’s a gladsome melody,
A song of cheer is ringing clear,
For my heavy burden rolled away,
What a happy, happy day.

Refrain:
In my heart today,
There’s a melody in my heart today,
I carried a heavy burden
But it rolled away;
There’s a melody in my heart today.

2 It was love wrought the change so wonderful,
His love for me, beyond degree,
Found me in the dreary wilderness,
Filled my heart with happiness. [Refrain]

3 And the way grows brighter ev’ry day,
What peace is mine! what joy divine!
And the load of sin that burdened me
Rolled away at Calvary. [Refrain]
