My Heart Sings Out With Joyful Praise

"My Heart Sings Out With Joyful Praise" is #106 in the New Century Hymnal and follows the tune "Marias Lovsang," a Swedish folk melody.

Here is a new verse for the beginning of worship:

Now ring the bells and bring the flame for we have come to sing,

To sing and pray and learn and praise the source of every thing,

And call to all the wandering, the pilgrims seeking home,

To share with them the gentle words, “My friends, you’re not alone!”
