Refrain: There is joy in the presence of angels tonight, There is rapture to mortals untold; For the Father and Shepherd in heaven rejoice, Over one who returns to the fold. 2 We can fancy we hear the sweet anthem of joy, That the angels are singing tonight; For we know that the low-lands of earth have a place, In the thoughts of the dwellers in light. [Refrain] 3 They must watch us with pitying love in their eyes, As in sin and in sorrow we stray; For we know there is rapturous joy in the skies, When a lost one returns to the Way. [Refrain] 4 For the Master hath lifted the veil from our eyes, And our faith-strengthen’d vision discerns How the heavenly city is thrilling with joy, Over one who repents and returns. [Refrain] Tune Title: [There is rapture tonight in yon city so fair]

Author: Charlotte G. Homer Hymnal: Progressive Sunday School Songs #72 (1923) Topics: Joy First Line: Songs of joy and gladness we delight to raise Lyrics: 1 Songs of joy and gladness we delight to raise With loud exultant voices on this day of days; And, while bells are ringing, While the world is singing, We, our tribute bringing, Join the hymn of praise. Refrain: While the bells are ringing, While the world is singing, We, our tribute bringing, Join the hymn of praise, Together, While the bells are ringing, While the world is singing, We, our tribute bringing, Join the hymn of praise. 2 In a manger only was there room that day; Among the poor and lowly the Redeemer lay; There the Shepherds found Him, There the Maji crowned Him, As they worshipped round Him, Christ, the Truth, the Way. [Refrain] 3 Angels sang the story over hill and plain Of peace, good will and glory—sweet angelic strain! Thus, while bells are ringing, While the world is singing, We, our tribute bringing, Join the glad refrain. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Songs of joy and gladness we delight to raise]
