Of Adam’s fallen race;
We’ll tell to all both far and near
Of saving, keeping grace.
Refrain:
There’s joy, glad joy,
Now flowing from above;
There’s joy, glad joy
In the fullness of His love.
2 From wells of everlasting joy
Our strength by faith we bring;
The joy that thrills my ransomed soul
Can make the dumb heart sing. [Refrain]
3 How sweet the soul that’s purged as pure
As gold without alloy;
How peaceful is the flowing stream
Of deep, eternal joy. [Refrain]
4 I’ll live for Christ through this dark world,
And faithful I will be;
The joy I know that keeps my soul
Shall last eternally. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Salvation's free, glad joy to all] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/A_Song_of_Joy); Faith Publishing House, Evening Light Songs, 1949, edited 1987 (61); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Select Hymns, 1911 (49)
