Lyics

THERE'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.
