Happy is my heart,
Sweet the song I am singing,
Joyful is my soul,
The rhyme that is ringing,

Lovely are the steps
I travel on this way,
Precious are the words
I hear Your voice say,



Eternal is the life
You give to me,
Heavenly is the horizon
Before me I see.

Yes, happy and joyful,
Lovely and precious too,
Eternal and heavenly
Is all I have in You.



So how can I wander
From Your sacred side?
How can I but choose
To in You abide?

You are the Source
Of all the good I know,
You are the love
In my heart to grow.



So for You and with You
This life I do live;
Yes, Jesus, to You
Everything I do give.

I ask only, Lord,
That You stay to me near,
For then every step
On my pathway is clear.



For lovely are the steps
I travel on this way,
Precious are the words
I hear Your voice say,

Yes, happy is my heart,
Sweet the song I am singing,
As You, my Jesus,
Every joy are bringing!
