My heart is filled with sing­ing,
I’m hap­py all the time;
Within the bells are ring­ing
Their me­lo­dy sub­lime.
The mu­sic of re­demp­tion
Is waft­ed on the breeze,
My soul is filled with glo­ry
And Ca­naan me­lo­dies.

Refrain

O glo­ry hal­le­lu­jah!
My soul is sanc­ti­fied;
He fills me with His glo­ry
As in Him I con­fide.
I have the se­cond bless­ing,
I’m free from sin’s dis­ease;
And now I’m al­ways sing­ing
Sweet Ca­naan me­lo­dies.

My life was full of pin­ing
And grum­bling ev­ery day;
But now ’tis spent in shin­ing
And sing­ing on the way.
My soul is filled with laugh­ter,
And with me it agrees,
So now I’m al­ways sing­ing
Sweet Ca­naan me­lo­dies.

Refrain

You ask me, What’s the sec­ret
Of such a hap­py frame?
I an­swer, ’Tis the Spi­rit
That keeps my heart aflame.
He sanc­ti­fies me whol­ly,
From sin my soul He frees,
And fills me with His glo­ry
And Ca­naan me­lo­dies.

Refrain

O Chris­tian, cease your strug­gling
With car­nal na­ture’s pow­er,
And seek the se­cond bless­ing
For pu­ri­ty this hour.
Your ser­vice for the Mas­ter
Will then be done with ease,
And you’ll be al­ways sing­ing,
Sweet Ca­naan me­lo­dies.
