There is joy, there is joy;
When the precious blood makes the heart all clean,
There is joy, there is joy.
Refrain:
There is joy in the presence of the angels,
And the courts o heaven ring,
When a soul is won to the Father’s Son,
There is joy, sweet joy.
2 When the lost is found eve angels sing,
There is joy, there is joy;
When a rebel yields to the Lord, the King,
There is joy, there is joy. [Refrain]
3 When God’s child returns, who has gone astray,
There is joy, there is joy;
When he walks once more in the holy way,
There is joy, there is joy. [Refrain] Tune Title: [When a soul returns from a life of sin]
There Is Joy
