Hymnal: Laudes Domini #412 (1884) First Line: Joyful be the hours to-day Lyrics: 1 Joyful be the hours to-day;
Joyful let the seasons be;
Let us sing, for well we may:
Jesus! we will sing of thee.
2 Should thy people silent be,
Then the very stones would sing:
What a debt we owe to thee,
Thee our Saviour, thee our King!
3 Joyful are we now to own,
Rapture thrills us as we trace
All the deeds thy love hath done,
All the riches of thy grace.
4 ‘Tis thy grace alone can save;
Every blessing comes from thee--
All we have, and hope to have,
All we are, and hope to be.
5 Thine the Name to sinners dear!
Thine the Name all names before!
Blessèd here and everywhere;
Blessèd now and evermore! Languages: English
Joy in the Lord
