The Old Story in Song Number Two ‎#134

134. When the Heart is Right with God

1 There’s a song I love to sing, even praises to our King,
When the heart is right with God;
There’s a joy that does not cease, and a deep, abiding peace,
When the heart is right with God.

Refrain:
When the heart is right with God,
All the past beneath the blood,
There is joy within the soul,
Tides of glory o’er us roll,
When the heart is right with God.

2 Then as friend communes with friend shall our wills in union blend,
When the heart is right with God;
Then we’ll love to do the right, find his service a delight,
When the heart is right with God. [Refrain]

3 When the breakers threaten ill, we can wait his “Peace, be still!”
When the heart is right with God;
Fear gives place to holy calm, life becomes one blissful psalm,
When the heart is right with God. [Refrain]

4 Vict’ry o’er the grave, we sing, “Where, O Death, is now thy sting?”
When the heart is right with God;
Lift with confidence our eyes to our home beyond the skies,
When the heart is right with God. [Refrain]
