My Heart Overflowing

Verse 1

My heart overflowing with rapture would sing Of Him, my Redeemer, Preserver, and King; Whose name ever precious with joy I repeat, While only a learner I sit at His feet.

Chorus

In this my rejoicing and glory shall be, The cross where my Saviour once suffered for me.

Verse 2

My heart overflowing His love would recall, The chief among thousands and dearest of all; How tender His mercies, how gentle His care, How many the blessings that daily I share.

Verse 3

My heart overflowing draws near to His throne, Who makes all my sorrows and trials His own; He guards me from danger, protects me from ill, He pities my weakness and comforts me still.

Verse 4

O cross of my Saviour, ‘tis there I will cling, My heart overflowing its story shall sing; Till faith bears me upward beyond the dark sea, Where beautiful mansions are waiting for me.
