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 sovereign 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 every heart and every tongue

Give thee the glory due.
