Author: Rev. M. S. Brown Hymnal: Sunday School Voices #23 (1910) Hymnal Title: Sunday School Voices First Line: Earth has its sunshine and shadow Lyrics: 1 Earth has its sunshine and shadow,
Its friendship, its sorrow, its thrall,
But sweet is the message from heaven,—
Jesus is joy over all.
Refrain:
Jesus is joy over all,
Jesus is joy over all;
He is a friend that will love to the end,
For Jesus is joy over all.
2 Burdens, so light in the morning,
Grow heavy as night-shadows fall;
There’s One who can always relieve us,—
Jesus is joy over all. [Refrain]
3 Springtime must fade into summer,
And summer must fade into fall,
But he has brought springtime forever,—
Jesus is joy over all. [Refrain]
4 Some day he’ll summon my spirit,
All weary, but waiting the call,
And then with the angels I’ll sing it,—
Jesus is joy over all. [Refrain]
