Author: Johan L. Runeberg; A. Samuel Wallgren, 1885-1940 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: What joy there is in coming Lyrics: 1. What joy there is in coming To God’s own courts so fair, Where faithful souls are blooming Like lilies in His care! They raise their chalices tender For Heav’n’s refreshing dew, ’Mid blessings God doth render They life and strength renew. ’Mid blessings God doth render They life and strength renew. 2. How beautiful the union Of souls redeemed and free, Who hold with God communion In faith and purity! While songs of praise are filling Their sacred place of rest, Who then can be unwilling To join their circle blest? Who then can be unwilling To join their circle blest? 3. Come, see the Lord’s salvation And taste His love sincere; Come, pray without cessation, Watch with His people here. Outside, the world makes merry, Unhappy ’mid its toys, But in God’s sanctuary The soul finds heav’nly joys. But in God’s sanctuary The soul finds heav’nly joys. 4. May ne’er my footsteps falter Tow’rd night away from day; My light shines from God’s altar, My Sun I’ll seek alway. Here in His presence glorious It is so good to be— Let here my soul victorious Its tabernacle see. Let here my soul victorious Its tabernacle see. Used With Tune: SANCTUARY (Dannström)
