Hymn 101

Joy in heaven for a repenting sinner.

Luke 15:7,10.

Who can describe the joys that

Through all the courts of Paradise,

To see a prodigal return,

To see an heir of glory born?

With joy the Father doth

The fruit of his eternal love;

The Son with joy looks down and

The purchase of his agonies.

The Spirit takes delight to

The holy soul he formed anew;

And saints and angels join to sing,

The growing empire of their King.
