Joy in Heaven For a Repenting Sinner

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 45

Verse 1

Who can describe the joys that rise Through all the courts of Paradise, To see a prodigal return, To see an heir of glory born?

Verse 2

With joy the Father does approve The fruit of his eternal love; The Son with joy looks down and sees The purchase of his agonies.

Verse 3

The Spirit takes delight to view The holy soul he formed anew; And saints and angels join to sing, The growing empire of their King.
