Joy! Joy! Joy!
There is joy in heav’n with the angels,
Joy! Joy! Joy!
For the prodigal’s return;
He has come, he has come
To his Father’s house at last;
He was lost, he is found,
And the night of gloom is past.
Blessèd hour of joy
and communion sweet,
For his heart is full
and his love complete;
His Father sees him and hastes to meet,
And bids him welcome home.
Joy! Joy! Joy!
There is joy in heav’n with the angels;
Joy! Joy! Joy!
For the prodigal’s return.
Joy! Joy! Joy!
In the courts of heav’n resounding;
Joy! Joy! Joy!
O’er the prodigal’s return;
Hark, the song! hark, the song!
‘Tis a joyful, joyful strain,
Welcome home, welcome home,
To thy Father’s house again.
While his eye is dim
with the falling tears
Of repented grief, over wasted years,
The pard’ning voice
of his Father cheers,
And bids him welcome home.
Joy! Joy! Joy!
There is joy in heav’n with the angels;
Joy! Joy! Joy!
For the prodigal’s return.
Joy! Joy! Joy!
In the radiant fields of glory,
Joy! Joy! Joy!
When a wand’ring soul returns;
Let us haste, let us haste,
While the morning sun is bright;
Jesus calls, Jesus calls,
To a land of love and light:
We will journey on,
till our pilgrim feet
Shall be found at last
in the golden street:
Our glorious Saviour
will smile to greet,
And bid us welcome home.
Joy! Joy! Joy!
There is joy in heav’n with the angels;
Joy! Joy! Joy!
For the prodigal’s return.
