Hear Thou the Song of My Heart

View/print sheet music:     SATB

    Here's a familiar verse that I have always loved:

    "There is music in my soul today--a carol to my King
    And Jesus listening can hear the songs I cannot sing."

    Each of us has, at some time, had the experience of trying to express feelings that we simply cannot put into words. At such times it's a comfort to know that the Lord knows our hearts and accepts our unsung carols as readily as He would accept a flawless performance, and does indeed "hear the songs [we] cannot sing."


      Lyrics:

      Hear thou the song of my heart
      When as a burden there lies in my breast
      An anthem of praise no words can express
      Hear thou the song of my heart

      Hear thou the song of my heart
      When tears hush my voice as I fervently seek
      To offer thee praise my soul cannot speak
      Hear thou the song of my heart

      Hear thou my joy unspoken
      Hear thou my psalm unsung
      Accept thou my quiet devotion
      Professed in no earthly tongue
      Hear 'neath my stillness unbroken
      A carol to my King
      And when my heart can find no voice
      Hear thou the songs I cannot sing

      Hear thou the song of my heart
      Though voiceless the anthem must often remain
      Hear thou my love in the silent refrain
      Hear thou the song of my heart

      Hear thou the song of my heart
