Lyrics 1. Break forth, break forth, O joyful heart, And make His goodness known, Who all thy life, though undeserved, Such love to thee has shown. Refrain Break forth, break forth, O joyful heart, Break forth, no longer silent be; Break forth, break forth in grateful praise To Him who came to ransom Thee. 2. ’Twas Jesus sought my wand’ring soul, And with a shepherd’s care He brought me kindly to His fold, And still protects me there. [Refrain] 3. He is my advocate with God, My Savior and my friend, His mercies new with every morn Like balmy showers descend. [Refrain] 4. My soul shall magnify the Lord, My voice His love proclaim, And every power within me join To bless and praise His name. [Refrain]
