There is Rapture To-night
Author: Flora Kirkland Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal #67 (1904) First Line: There is rapture tonight in yon city so fair Refrain First Line: there is joy in the presence of angels Lyrics: 1 There is rapture tonight in yon city so fair,
Where the river of life floweth free;
And a touch of the joy that is ringing up there,
Falleth softly on you and on me.
Refrain:
There is joy in the presence of angels tonight,
There is rapture to mortals untold;
For the Father and Shepherd in heaven rejoice,
Over one who returns to the fold.
2 We can fancy we hear the sweet anthem of joy,
That the angels are singing tonight;
For we know that the low-lands of earth have a place,
In the thoughts of the dwellers in light. [Refrain]
3 They must watch us with pitying love in their eyes,
As in sin and in sorrow we stray;
For we know there is rapturous joy in the skies,
When a lost one returns to the Way. [Refrain]
4 For the Master hath lifted the veil from our eyes,
And our faith-strengthen’d vision discerns
How the heavenly city is thrilling with joy,
Over one who repents and returns. [Refrain] Topics: Heaven and Homeland; Joy Tune Title: [There is rapture tonight in yon city so fair]
