8505. Joy And Consolation

1 O the joy and consolation
Jesus offers thro’ salvation,
Since a ransom for our sins He freely died,
That we might some day be given
Our reward with angels in Heaven,
And in gladness never ending there abide!

Refrain:
Yes, the Savior offers joy and consolation,
And a home within the glorious mansions for aye;
If you will no longer wander,
But accept His love and salvation,
He will freely, He will freely bless today.

2 O the joy and consolation,
To be free from condemnation,
Thro’ our Savior, our blest Lord and friend so dear;
If you would now be possessing
Jesus and His every blessing,
Only trust Him, only trust Him: He is near. [Refrain]

3 O ’tis free to every nation,
Without price or compensation,
And He’s calling, oh! He calls you now to come;
Only take Him as your Savior,
Sharing in His wonderful favor,
And forever, yes, forever, dwell at home. [Refrain]
