Jesus Set the Music Ringing

You ask what makes me hap­py

The whole day long

Why I am al­ways sing­ing

A glad­some song;

Ah

well I do re­mem­ber

When song be­gan to start

’Twas Je­sus set the mu­sic

Ringing in my heart.

In my heart

He set the mu­sic ring­ing

In my life

A heav’n­ly gladn­ess bring­ing;

Ah

well do I re­mem­ber

When song began to start

’Twas Je­sus set the mu­sic ring­ing

Ringing in my heart.

I can­not keep from sing­ing

Since that glad day

When Je­sus took

in mer­cy

My sins away;

He op­ened up a fount­ain

Whence streams of gladn­ess start

’Twas Je­sus set the mu­sic

Ringing in my heart.

His love each day is grow­ing

More sweet to me

Each day new grace and beau­ty

In Him I see;

For all this world can of­fer

From Him I would not part

Since He has set the mu­sic

Ringing in my heart.
