When Thy Heart, with Joy O’erflowing

lyricist: Theodore Williams, 1891
Composer: Ethelbert Bullinger, 1874

When thy heart

with joy o’er­flow­ing

Sings a thank­ful pray­er

In thy joy

O let thy bro­ther

With thee share.

When the har­vest sheaves in­ga­thered

Fill thy barns with store

To thy God and to thy bro­ther

Give the more.

If thy soul

with pow­er up­lift­ed

Yearn for glo­ri­ous deed

Give thy strength to serve thy bro­ther

In his need.

Share with him thy bread of bless­ing

Sorrow’s bur­den share;

When thy heart en­folds a bro­ther

God is there.
