Interpretation notes:
The hymn uses a smooth, mostly stepwise melodic line.
The opening phrase begins with ascending thirds, and the final verse lines rise higher with more leaps.
One verse phrase uses only three notes and repeated Cs, creating a narrow melodic range.
The refrain repeats the text 'into my heart,' and the final line rises to a high D before resolving to middle C.
