1 Bring forth the royal robe,
Behold, the lost is found;
Bring forth the signet ring,
Let mirth and song abound.

Refrain:
The lost is found, the lost is found,
Let heaven reecho with the sound,
Let heaven reecho with the sound.

2. Now spread the festal board,
The banqueting prepare;
And let the lost one, found,
The feast of gladness share. [Refrain]

3 There’s joy on earth below,
There’s joy in heaven above,
When one repenting soul
Accepts redeeming love. [Refrain]

4 Bring forth the royal robe,
Bring forth the signet ring;
Array the festal board,
Prepare the banqueting. [Refrain]
