Author: Priscilla J. Owens Hymnal: Living Hymns #137 (1890) First Line: There is joy, there is joy Refrain First Line: All the golden bells are ringing Lyrics: There is joy, there is joy,
There is joy in heaven:
1 A ransomed soul returns,
The path of sin forsaking,
And while his sad heart mourns,
The harps of God are waking.
Chorus:
All the golden bells are ringing,
All the angel choirs are singing,
All the loving angels say,
"There is joy in heav'n to-day,
There is joy, there is joy, joy, joy to-day."
2 A weeping sinner kneels,
The chains of death are broken,
And soon his glad heart feels
The Saviour's welcome spoken. [Chorus]
3 No news of pain or care,
The jasper sea o'er-reaching,
But sweet is echoed there
The contrite heart's beseeching. [Chorus]
4 O then to God return,--
Come back and be forgiven,
And soon thy heart shall learn
To know the joy of heaven. [Chorus]
