1.

I have joy in my soul as I walk, Lord, with Thee;
There sings heavenly music in me.
Songs of praise fill my day as I walk on the way
Thou hast chosen and planned just for me.

Chorus:

Glory, glory, praises and joy
Evermore my tongue shall employ.
I have joy in my soul as I walk, Lord, with Thee;
There sings heavenly music in me.

2.

I am free now to drink of the heavenly well,
That the springs of life flow out through me.
Since Thy powerful Spirit within me doth dwell,
Living waters burst forth as the sea.

Chorus:

Glory, glory, praises and joy
Evermore my tongue shall employ.
I am free now to drink of the heavenly well,
That the springs of life flow out through me.

3.

There is joy in my soul, though my way here be hard,
For behind all I hear Thy sweet song.
It is sweet in my ear; ’tis a balsam to me,
And it strengthens me all the day long.

Chorus:

Glory, glory, praises and joy
Evermore my tongue shall employ.
There is joy in my soul, though my way here be hard,
For behind all I hear Thy sweet song.
