The Song of Joy

1 There’s a song of joy echoing over all the world,
A song of wondrous sweetness, comfort and of peace;
Sung wherever love’s beautiful banner is unfurled,
The song begun at Bethlehem shall never, never cease.

Refrain:
Jesus, Jesus, Oh, shout the glad refrain!
In tenderest love He sought us,
Into the fold He brought us;
Jesus, Jesus, the Lamb for sinners slain,
Oh, tell it again, tell it again, o’er and o’er!
Join with the hosts above,
Tell of His wondrous love;
Exalt, sing praise, and magnify His name!
Join with the hosts above,
Tell of His wondrous love,
Exalt and praise His holy name!

2 How the glad refrain lingers within the heart that hears!
It tells of sins forgiven, of eternal rest;
Of the mansions bright waiting beyond the vale of tears,
Of home where partings never come, and cares no more molest. [Refrain]
