O the Great Joy That I Find

Working for Jesus from day unto day, Praying and feasting on food pure and holy, I'm on my heavenly way. Refrain: Joy, yes, 'tis joy in His service, Joy that descends from above; Working and watching and waiting and praying, Kept by the Savior's love. 2 By faith each day I can view the great mansions, Decked with the gems of a heavenly grace, Angels sing sweetly the songs of redemption, Jesus is in that place. [Refrain] 3 Day after day I will sing of His mercy, For every hour His grace is anew, I praise His name for I'm still on my journey, Heaven is still in view. [Refrain] Topics: The Christian Life Death and Life Eternal; Joy Scripture: John 1:4 Languages: English Tune Title: GREAT JOY
