Joy in heaven

Chorus: Glory to the Lord of Hosts, Shout the morning stars on high, Praise him ever, ye angels of light!

[Chorus] 3 Sinner, bow with gratitude, And, with heart subdued, Plead his mercy and pardon free! He will see the falling tear, Hear the fervent pray'r, And will tenderly welcome thee! [Chorus] Used With Tune: [There is joy in heav'n today!]
