Whene'er a sinner turns to God
With contrite heart and flowing eyes,
The happy news makes angel's smile,
And tell the joys above the skies.
Well may the church below rejoice,
And echo back the heavenly sound:
This soul was dead, but now's alive,
This sheep was lost, but now is found.
Glory to God on high be giv'n.
For his unbounded love to men:
Let saints below and saints above,
In concert join their loud amen.
