Lyrics

There is glad­ness in my heart to­day, to­day,
A peace I can­not tell,
For the Spir­it of the Lord now dwells with­in,
And with my soul ’tis well.
There is glad­ness in my heart to­day,
Which peace and joy impart,
For the Spir­it of the Lord has come to stay,
There’s glad­ness in my heart.

There is com­fort in my heart to­day, to­day,
A joy that con­stant springs,
For the Com­fort­er has come to keep my soul,
And love and glad­ness brings.
There is com­fort in my heart to­day,
Which peace and joy im­part,
For the Spir­it of the Lord has come to stay,
There’s com­fort in my heart.

There is sun­shine in my heart to­day, to­day,
A light that sa­tis­fies;
For my soul has found a home in Christ the Lord,
And to His bo­som flies.
There is sun­shine in my heart to­day,
Which peace and joy im­part,
For the Spir­it of the Lord has come to stay,
There’s sun­shine in my heart.
