Lyrics: 1 A joyful song I love to sing Of Jesus, of Jesus, The chords that thro’ my spirit ring, But speak of precious Jesus; The blessèd name I can but sing; Afar from home He sought me, And in the fullness of His love, His great salvation brought me. Refrain: Sing glory, sing glory! And praise forever bringing; The love of Jesus, precious love! I cannot keep from singing. 2 My hope and joy, my sunshine bright, Is Jesus, my Jesus; His presence is my chief delight, My heart is filled with Jesus: And while that love throbs thro’ and thro’ In bonding pulse of pleasure, My songs shall be both glad and free, I would not change the measure. [Refrain] 3 Oh, come and join the songs I sing, Of Jesus, of Jesus! And let the glory-anthems ring, Thro’ all the earth for Jesus; Then all a-tune thy soul shall join The angel choirs of Heaven; The gates of pearl will soon unfurl, And endless praise be given.

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[A joyful song I love to sing]" in Praise in Song William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
