LyicsTHERE'S joy in heav'n, and joy on earth,
When prodigals return,
To see desponding souls rejoice,
And haughty sinners mourn.
"Come, saints, and hear what God hath done,"
Is a reviving sound;
O may it spread from sea to sea,
E'en all the globe around!
Often, O sov'reign Lord, renew
The wonders of this day,
That Jesus here may see his seed,
And Satan lose his prey!
Great God! the work is all thine own;
Thine be the praises too:
Let ev'ry heart and ev'ry tongue
Give thee the glory due.
