There is joy, glad joy
among the angels,
Joy in heav’n above,
When a soul returns
from sin and folly
To the Savior’s love.
Joy among the angels,
Joy in heav’n above;
Joy on earth among the righteous,
When the wanderer
returns to the fold.
There is joy on earth
among the righteous,
Joy beyond compare,
When a soul returns
to Christ for shelter—
Finds forgiveness there.
Joy among the angels,
Joy in heav’n above;
Joy on earth among the righteous,
When the wanderer
returns to the fold.
There is joy, more joy
among the angels,
When the lost is found,
Than for nine and ninety
of the righteous,
Who in grace abound.
Joy among the angels,
Joy in heav’n above;
Joy on earth among the righteous,
When the wanderer
returns to the fold.
There is joy on earth
and up in heaven,
Joy exceeding great:
Sinner, come and seek
the joy of pardon,
Come before too late.
Joy among the angels,
Joy in heav’n above;
Joy on earth among the righteous,
When the wanderer
returns to the fold.
