Tune: | JOY IN HEAVEN |
Composer: | Wm. J. Kirkpatrick. by per |
1 There is joy among the angels,
There's a mighty shout of rapture;
Far beyond the pearly gates the news has come
Of a sinner now repenting,
To the gospel word consenting,
Of a contrite soul that seeks its better home.
Chorus:
Joy, joy, joy, joy in heav'n,
Souls are seeking now the living way;
There is joy, joy, joy, joy among the angels;
Join their hallelujah songs today.
2 There is joy among the angels
By the shining, crystal river,
For a wand'ring one is safe within the fold;
For the Shepherd sought and found him,
And the arms of love around him;
Hear the music grandly ring from harps of gold. [Chorus]
3 There is holy joy in heaven
Higher, purer than the angels';
'Tis the Father's heart rejoicing in its love;
'Tis the Saviour-Shepherd singing
O'er the lost one He is bringing,
Bringing to the everlasting home above. [Chorus]
