Tabernacle Hymns ‎#109

109. Let the Joy Overflow

1 There’s a clear fountain flowing
From the bright throne above,
And its waters are glowing
With the sunshine of love;
Take the blest consolation,
Which the Lord will bestow,
Take the cup of salvation -
Let the joy overflow.

Chorus:
O the joy!
With this wondrous salvation
Be our hearts all aglow;
O the joy!
Let the blessing run over,
And joy overflow.

2 Many hearts need the story—
Are athirst for His grace;
Go to them with His glory
Shining out from your face;
Tell of Jesus your Savior!
If His mercies you know,
Show the light of His favor—
Let the joy overflow. [Chorus]

3. Be our lives freely yielded
To the Savior’s command;
By His care ever shielded
And upheld by His hand;
In the pathways of sadness,
Sweetest lilies may grow;
Let us sow seeds of gladness—
Let the joy overflow. [Chorus]
