Guard Thy Heart

Verse 1

Out of the heart are the issues of life, Thorns or blossoms rare; Beautiful friendships or bitterest strife— Guard thy heart with care.

Chorus

Guard it with care, guard it with care, Guard thy heart with care, with care, Out of the heart are the issues of life, Guard thy heart with care.

Verse 2

Out of the heart comes the faith to believe When we may not see; Out of the heart comes the will to achieve Glorious things to be.

Verse 3

Out of the heart comes the tenderst care Love can give its own; Out of the heart comes the mightiest pray’r, Reaching heaven’s throng.

Verse 4

Out of the heart comes the glorious deed On life’s battle field; Courage of heroes, who suffer and bleed, Die, but will not yield.
