Joy Among the Angels

Verse 1

There is joy, glad joy among the angels, Joy in heav’n above, When a soul returns from sin and folly To the Savior’s love.

Chorus

Joy among the angels, Joy in heav’n above; Joy on earth among the righteous, When the wanderer returns to the fold.

Verse 2

There is joy on earth among the righteous, Joy beyond compare, When a soul returns to Christ for shelter— Finds forgiveness there.

Verse 3

There is joy, more joy among the angels, When the lost is found, Than for nine and ninety of the righteous, Who in grace abound.

Verse 4

There is joy on earth and up in heaven, Joy exceeding great: Sinner, come and seek the joy of pardon, Come before too late.
