The world is full of singing

1.

The world is full of singing

I hear it everywhere

The flow’rs their bells are ringing

But on the scented air

And up above around me

The silent anthems roll

The glorious Lord has found me

There’s music in my soul

2.

My heart was found of sighing

With just some breaks of song

As self was ever trying

To make its weakness strong

But now in Him confiding

His word has made me whole

And e’er in Christ abiding

There’s music in my soul

3.

My life was full of sadness

Of ever weighing care

But now the oil of gladness

Had turn’d to praise the prayer

And so I keep pursuing

And pressing t’ward the goal

But praying waiting doing

There’s music in my soul

4.

And so my heart keeps clinging

To this dear Master’s word

And it is always singing

Jesus like a spring time bird

I know not what the harps be

Where heavenly anthem roll

I know that heaven is near me

There’s music in my soul
