Representative Text

1 There’s a song in my heart I am singing alway,
It fills me with comfort and cheer;
Like the chime of sweet bells sounding day after day,
‘Tis the love of my Saviour so dear.

Refrain:
Love is the song I am singing,
Down in my heart sweet and clear;
Love is the song I am singing,
The love of my Saviour dear.

2 There’s a song in my heart, O the joy that it brings,
It drives away trouble and care;
With the music of heaven unceasing it rings,
‘Tis a balm for all sorrow and despair. [Refrain]

3 There’s a song in my heart you can learn if you will,
It came from our Father above;
With new glory and gladness your soul it will fill,
If you dwell in His everlasting love. [Refrain]

Lizzie De Armond was a prolific writer of children's hymns, recitations and exercises. When she was twelve years old her first poem was published in the Germantown, Pa. Telegraph, however, it was not until she was a widow with eight children to support that she started writing in earnest. She wrote articles, librettos, nature stories and other works, as well as hymns.
