Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDXXXVIII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: There's joy in heaven, and joy on earth Lyrics: 1 There's joy in heaven, and joy on earth,
When prodigals return,
To see desponding souls rejoice,
And haughty sinner's mourn.
2 "Come saints, and hear what God hat done,"
Is a reviving sound;
O may it spread from sea to sea,
E'en all the globe around.
3 Often, O sov'reign Lord, renew
The wonders of this day;
That Jesus here may see his seed,
And satan lose his prey.
4 Great God the work is all thine own,
Thine be the praises too,
Let every heart and every tongue
Give thee the glory due.
