“In My Heart There Rings a Melody”
I have a song that Je-sus gave me, It was sent from heav’n
a-bove; There nev-er was a sweet-er mel-o-dy,
“Tis a mel-o-dy of love. (Refrain)
“Twill be my end-less theme in glo-ry, With the an-gels
I will sing; “Twill be a song with glo-rious har-mo-ny,
When the courts of heav-en ring. (Refrain)
(Refrain) In my heart there rings a mel-o-dy, There rings a
mel-o-dy with heav-en’s har-mo-ny;
In my heart there rings a mel-o-dy, There rings a mel-o-dy of love.
“Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus”
Stand up, stand up for Je-sus, Ye sol-diers of the cross, Lift high His roy-al ban-ner, it must not suf-fer loss; From vic-tory un-to vic-tory His ar-my shall He lead, Till ev-ery foe is van-quished And Christ is Lord in-deed.
Stand up, stand up for Je-sus, The strife will not be-long; This day the noise of bat-tle, The next, the vic-tor’s song; To him who o-ver com-eth A crown of life shall be; He with the King of glo-ry Shall reign e-ter-nal-ly.
“Leaning on the Everlasting Arms”
What a fel-low-ship, what a joy di-vine, Lean-ing on the ev-er-last-ing arms; What a bless-ed-ness, what a peace is mine,
Lean-ing on the ev-er-last-ing arms. (Refrain)
What have I to dread, what have I to fear, Lean-ing on the ev-er-last-ing arms? I have bless-ed peace with my Lord so near,
Lean-ing on the ev-er-last-ing arms. (Refrain)
(Refrain): Lean-ing, lean-ing, Safe and se-cure from all a-larms; Lean-ing, lean-ing, Lean-ing on the ev-er-last-ing arms.
