There is joy in my soul,
for the Savior is mine,
I am wearing the pledge
of His Spirit divine;
Every promise by faith
through His grace I may claim,
Oh, His love passeth knowledge,
all praise to His Name.
There is joy in my soul,
there is joy in my song,
I am nearing the gates
of the bright,
shining throng;
And I list to the music
of Eden so fair,
Hallelujah to Jesus,
I soon shall be there.
There is joy in my soul
that will never depart,
My Redeemer has made
His abode in my heart;
From the tempter and sin
I am kept every hour,
Oh, His love passeth knowledge,
so great is its power.
There is joy in my soul,
there is joy in my song,
I am nearing the gates
of the bright,
shining throng;
And I list to the music
of Eden so fair,
Hallelujah to Jesus,
I soon shall be there.
There is joy in my soul
though the clouds may arise,
Yet the bow of His mercy
ne’er fades from the skies;
I am standing by faith
where the pure waters glide,
Oh, His love passeth knowledge,
so deep and so wide.
There is joy in my soul,
there is joy in my song,
I am nearing the gates
of the bright,
shining throng;
And I list to the music
of Eden so fair,
Hallelujah to Jesus,
I soon shall be there.
There is joy in my soul,
there is rapture and rest,
In my Savior and Lord
I am perfectly blest;
’Twill be only a step
ere my feet press the shore,
Then “His love passeth knowledge,”
I’ll shout evermore.
There is joy in my soul,
there is joy in my song,
I am nearing the gates
of the bright,
shining throng;
And I list to the music
of Eden so fair,
Hallelujah to Jesus,
I soon shall be there.
