Text:Joy in Heaven for a repenting sinner

I.CI. Joy in Heaven for a repenting sinner

1 Who can describe the joys that rise,
Through all the courts of Paradise,
To see a prodigal return,
To see an heir of glory born?

2 With joy the Father doth approve
The fruit of his eternal love;
The Son with joy looks down and sees
The purchase of his agonies.

3 The Spirit takes delight to view
The holy soul he form'd anew;
And saints and angels join to sing,
The growing empire of their king.
