The Cyber Hymnal ‎#14392

14392. Oh, The Joy I Feel

1 I will sing all day of the Savior’s love,
That once brought Him down from His home above;
All my sins He pardoned and set me free;
Soon He’ll take me home with Himself to be.

Refrain:
Oh, the joy I feel, as I humbly kneel,
At the Savior’s feet, in communion sweet!
He has cleansed my soul from its guilt and sin;
Glory be to God! there is peace within.

2 Oh, the day will come when we all shall stand,
At the throne of God as a blood-washed band;
What a bliss ’twill be our dear Lord to see,
And to sing His praise thro’ eternity. [Refrain]

3 Will you come, dear friend? Give the Lord your heart,
Ere His Spirit grieved from your soul depart;
There are crowns in glory awaiting those
Who in Christ the Savior their trust repose. [Refrain]
