I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
Psalm 108:1
Words & Music: Lucy R. Minor, in Famous Gospel Hymns, by Edwin O. Excell & Daniel B. Towner (Chicago, Illinois: Bible Institute Colportage Association, 1907) (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know where to get a good photo of Minor (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
I’ve something in my heart that Jesus gave to me,
It makes me feel like singing glory all the day;
He found my captive soul and gave me liberty,
And now I feel like singing glory!
Refrain
He makes the path grow brighter every passing day;
He makes the burden lighter all along the way;
His Word is my delight, His will I now obey,
And all the time I’m singing glory!
My Savior loosed my tongue
That I might speak His praise;
Since then I have been singing glory all the day;
I love to tell the lost of Jesus and His ways,
And oh, it keeps me singing glory!
Refrain
My Savior took my feet from out the miry clay;
Since then I have been singing glory all the day;
He placed them on the rock
That shall not pass away—
I cannot keep from singing glory!
Refrain
O weary heart and sad, O heavy laden soul,
If you would feel like singing glory all the day,
Just let the Savior in, and let Him take control;
Then you will feel like singing glory!
Refrain
