When the Heart Is in Tune

Verse 1

When the heart is in tune, its trembling chords Swell the name of Jesus; Then the strings that were mute with joy expand At the touch of His master hand.

Chorus

Sweetest music, sweetest music, When the blessed name we love— From the full heart breaks; Sweetest music, sweetest music, When the melody of song He wakes.

Verse 2

When the heart is in tune, its only song— Praise and love to Jesus; With a holy delight its chords expand At the touch of His master hand.

Verse 3

When the heart is in tune, it wearies not, Still it sings of Jesus; For its strings are in tune with harps above And the songs of redeeming love.
