Jesus Gives Me a Song by Homer W. Grimes about 1940

Does anyone know the lyrics to this song? I know it has more than one verse.
"In sin I wandered, seeking a song.
Days were so dreary, nights were so long.
One day believing, Jesus receiving,
My soul thrilled with a song.
Refrain:
Jesus gives me a song as I travel along on life's weary, toilsome road.
I can sing as I go, for there's one thing I know that will end life's heavy load.
When the shadows are long, He will give me a song, as when skies are blue and bright.
Every step of the way, every hour of the day, and songs in the deepest night."

My father's cousin did an arrangement of this song. He titled his song "My Soul Thrilled with a Song." The words that he used in his arrangement are:
1. Vainly I wandered, seeking a song. Days were so dreary, nights were so long. One day believing, Jesus receiving, my soul thrilled with a song.
Then the same refrain as above, then:
2. Songs in the daytime, songs in the night, songs of devotion, songs of delight, melodies ringing, in my heart singing, my soul thrilled with a song. Then the refrain again.

Jesus gives me a song
1. In sin I wandered seeking a song. Days were so dreary, nights were so long. One day believing. Jesus is receiving. My soul thrilled with a song. My soul thrilled with a song.
Songs in the daytime, song in the night. Songs of devotion, songs of delight. Melodies ringing in my heart singing. Jesus gives me a song. Jesus gives me a song.

2. Are you in trouble? Are you distress? Is there no singing? Is there no rest? Look up to Jesus. He likes to free us. He will give you a song. He will give you a song.
Songs in the daytime, song in the night. Songs of devotion, songs of delight. Melodies ringing in my heart singing. Jesus gives me a song. Jesus gives me a song.

I'm pretty sure they are 3 verses to this song if you're still interested. I can double check.
Ht808 has a few typos in the 2nd verse, but otherwise it's correct.
I'm not sure I can find sheet music for it, but I know the tune.
