Within my heart a praise o’erflowing

Within my heart a praise o’erflowing;
’Tis the gracious Lord, my song;
There never was a song so excellent;
Heaven’s joys to me belong.

Oh, wondrous love, the Lord has saved me,
Granting me new life and joy;
Amazing grace! He’s living now in me;
Grace and love I now enjoy.

Oh, light of life, my Lord now leads me,
Step by step this song I raise.
Oh, perfect peace, Christ now abides in me,
Welling up in psalms of praise.

Oh, what release! I shall be raptured,
Where the vict’ry song we’ll sing;
Oh, what an honor, reigning with the Lord;
Angels’ celebrations ring.

The holy city, what a blessing!
Living water flowing free,
The tree of life with fruits abundant, sweet,
Satisfies eternally.
