Hymnal: Joy to the World #23 (1879) Hymnal Title: Joy to the World First Line: There's not a bright and beaming smile Lyrics: 1 There's not a bright and beaming smile
Which in the world I see,
But turns my heart to future joy,
And whispers "heaven" to me.
Tho' often here my soul is sad,
And falls the silent tear.
There is a world where all are glad,
And sorrow dwells not there.
2 I never grasp a friendly hand
In greeting or farewell,
But thoughts of an eternal home
Within my bosom swell.
A prayer to meet in heaven at last,
Where all the ransomed come,
And where eternal ages still
Shall find us all at home. Languages: English Tune Title: [There's not a bright and beaming smile]
