He Keeps Me Singing
Luther B. Bridgers, 1910

There's within my heart a melody Jesus whispers sweet and low,
Fear not, I am with thee, peace, be still, in all of life's ebb and flow.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest name I know,
Fills my ev'ry longing, Keeps me singing as I go.

All my life was wrecked by sin and strife, Discord filled by heart with pain;
Jesus swept across the broken trings, stirrd the slum'bring chords again.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest name I know,
Fills my ev'ry longing, Keeps me singing as I go.

Feasting on the riches of His grace, Resting 'neath His shelt'ring wing,
Always looking to His gracious face, That is why I shout and sing.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest name I know,
Fills my ev'ry longing, Keeps me singing as I go.

Tho' sometimes He leads thro' waters deep, Trials fall across the way,
Tho' sometimeds the path seems rough and steep, See His footprints all the way.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest name I know,
Fills my ev'ry longing, Keeps me singing as I go.
