15935. Joy Among The Angels

1 Is there joy among the angels,
In the courts of endless day,
When a soul oppressed with sadness
Walks no more the sinful way?
Can it be among the purest
Of that bright and happy throng,
There are those who, ’round our pathway
Waiting, long to wake the song?

Refrain:
There is joy among the angels,
There is joy among the angels
When a soul that long has wandered
Yields itself to the Savior’s love.

2 There is joy among the angels,
In the blessèd home above,
And the ever blest Redeemer
Shows His everlasting love,
When a soul bowed down with sorrow
Turns from sin’s destructive way
And by faith receives the promise,
Promise of eternal day. [Refrain]

3 There is joy among the angels,
When the cause of truth succeeds,
When the clouds of sin and darkness
From its glorious light recede;
Yes, where’er the heart of anguish,
White as snow or black with shame,
Comes with trusting faith to Jesus,
Still they tune the lyre the same. [Refrain]
