Hymn 48

Joy by and by

Verse 1
O there’ll be joy when the work is done,
Joy when the reapers gather home,
Bringing the sheaves at set of sun
To the New Jerusalem.
Chorus
Joy ---------- joy, there’ll be joy by and by,
(Joy joy joy)
Joy------ joy, where the joys never die;
(Joy, joy, joy)
Joy------- joy; for the day draweth nigh
(Joy, joy, joy)
When the workers gather home.
Verse 2
Sweet are the songs that we hope to sing,
Grateful the thanks our hearts shall bring,
Praising the forever Christ our King,
In the New Jerusalem.
Chorus
Joy ---------- joy, there’ll be joy by and by,
(Joy joy joy)
Joy------ joy, where the joys never die;
(Joy, joy, joy)
Joy------- joy; for the day draweth nigh
(Joy, joy, joy)
When the workers gather home.
Verse 3
Pure are the joys that await us there,
Many the golden mansions fair,
Jesus himself doth them prepare,
In the New Jerusalem.
Chorus
Joy ---------- joy, there’ll be joy by and by,
(Joy joy joy)
Joy------ joy, where the joys never die;
(Joy, joy, joy)
Joy------- joy; for the day draweth nigh
(Joy, joy, joy)
When the workers gather home.
