In My Heart There Rings a Melody Lyrics
Author: Elton Roth
Verse 1
I have a song that Jesus gave me
It was sent from heav’n above
There never was a sweeter melody
‘Tis a melody of love
Chorus:
In my heart there rings a melody
There rings a melody with heaven’s harmony
In my heart there rings a melody
There rings a melody of love
Verse 2
I love the Christ who died on Calv’ry
For He washed my sins away
He put within my heart a melody
And I know it’s there to stay Chorus
Verse 3
‘Twill be my endless theme in glory
With the angels I will sing
‘Twill be a song with glorious harmony
When the courts of heaven ring Chorus
In My Heart There Rings a Melody Hymn History
The words and tune of this hymn are from the pen of Elton M Roth (1891 – 1951). He was born in Berne, Indiana and passed away in Glendale, California.
Roth was one of the most well-known musicians of his day and contributed over a hundred hymns to the church.
According to Mr. Roth, this hymn came suddenly to him while assisting with evangelism in Texas in 1923. He recalled, “That evening I introduced the song by having more than two hundred boys and girls sing it at the open-air meeting, after which the audience joined in the singing. I was thrilled as it seemed my whole being was transformed into a song.”
