Surprised by Joy

Author: Eric Routley, 1917-1982; Joan Goodwin, 1926- Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #410 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Surprised by joy no song can tell Lyrics: 1 Surprised by joy no song can tell, no thought can compass, here we stand to celebrate eternal love, to reach for one another's hand. 2 Beyond all other gifts is this, best gift, alone to mortals given; the love of parent, lover, friend attunes our hearts to bliss of heaven. 3 Faith, hope, and love here come alive; life's deepest treasure is made known when in forgiving, giving all, insep'rably, two are as one.

Surprised by Joy

Author: Erik Routley Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #519 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Surprised by joy no song can tell Lyrics: 1 Surprised by joy no song can tell, no thought can compass, here we stand to celebrate eternal Love, to reach for God's almighty Hand. 2 Beyond an angel's mind is this, best gift, alone to mortals giv'n; the love of parent, lover, friend brings straight to earth the bliss of heaven. 3 Faith, hope and love here come alive; God's very being is made known when, giving and forgiving all, two are inseparably one. 4 For all this splendour, all this joy is ours because a Father's care-- large, gen'rous, patient, strong as death-- showed us in Christ what love can dare. 5 Your banner over us be love, your grace refresh our trav'ling days; your power sustain, your beauty cheer; our words, our home, our lives be praise! Topics: Marriage Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:4 Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE (O SALUTARIS)
