The Psalms of David ‎#I.CI

I.CI. Who can describe the Joys that rise

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;
The Saints and Angels join to sing,
The growing Empire of their King.
