Author: E. E. Hewitt Hymnal: Joyful Sound #50 (1889) First Line: There is joy among the angels Refrain First Line: Joy, joy, joy, joy in heaven Lyrics: 1 There is joy among the angels,
There’s mighty shout of rapture;
Far beyond the pearly gates the news has come
Of a sinner now repenting,
To the gospel-word consenting,—
Of a contrite soul that seeks its better home.
Refrain:
Joy, joy, joy, joy in heaven,
Souls are seeking now the living way;
There is joy, joy, joy, joy among the angels;
Join their hallelujah songs today.
2 There is joy among the angels
By the shining, crystal river,
For a wand’ring one is safe within the fold;
For the Shepherd sought and found him,
And the arms of love are round him;
Hear the music grandly ring from harps of gold. [Refrain]
3 There is holy joy in heaven
Higher, purer than the angels’;
‘Tis the Father’s heart rejoicing in its love;
‘Tis the Saviour-Shepherd singing
O’er the lost one he is bringing,
Bringing to the everlasting home above. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There is joy among the angels]
Joy in Heaven
