New Songs of the Gospel No. 3 ‎#25

25. There Is Joy

1 When a soul returns from a life of sin,
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]
