There’s joy both on earth and in heaven,
When prodigals sorrow and mourn;
Their sins shall be wholly forgive,
When they with contrition return:
When Jesus by them is adored,
He quickly his favours imparts;
And all that is good will afford,
To enliven and comfort their hearts.
The church when with clouds overcast,
How drooping its numbers appear!
But when the thick darkness is past,
How lovely the aspect they wear!
Come saints, and with thankfulness tell
What Jesus for sinners has done;
He’s saved them from death and from hell,
And caused them their Saviour to own.
