Hymnal: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books #I.CI (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books First Line: Who can describe the joys that rise Lyrics: 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?
2 With joy the Father doth approve
The fruit of his eternal love;
The Son with joy looks down and sees
The purchase of his agonies.
3 The Spirit takes delight to view
The holy soul he form'd anew;
And saints and angels join to sing,
The growing empire of their king.
Scripture: Luke 15:7 Languages: English
Joy in Heaven for a repenting sinner
