HYMN 101. (L. M.) Joy in Heaven for a repenting Sinner, Luke xv. 7, 10.
I
Who can describe the joys that riseThro' all the courts of paradise
To see a prodigal return,
To see an heir of glory born?
II
With joy the Father doth approveThe fruit of his eternal love;
The Son with joy looks down and sees
The purchase of his agonies.
III
The Spirit takes delight to viewThe holy soul he form'd anew;
And saints and angels join to sing
The growing empire of their King
