- 1.
- There was joy in Heaven,
- There was joy in Heaven,
- When this goodly world to frame
- The Lord of might and mercy came;
- Shouts of joy were heard on high,
- And the stars sang from the sky,
- Glory to God in Heav’n.
- 2.
- There was joy in Heaven,
- There was joy in Heaven,
- When the billows heaving dark,
- Sank around the stranded ark,
- And the rainbow’s watery span
- Spake of mercy, hope to man,
- And peace with God in Heav’n.
- 3.
- There was joy in Heaven,
- There was joy in Heaven,
- When of love the midnight beam
- Dawned on the towers of Bethlehem,
- And along the echoing hill
- Angels sang, “On earth good will,
- And glory in the Heav’n!”
- 4.
- There was joy in Heaven,
- There was joy in Heaven,
- When the soul that went astray
- Turns to Christ, the living Way,
- And, by grace of Heav’n subdued,
- Breathes a prayer of gratitude,
- Oh, there is joy in Heav’n.
Lyrics: Reginald Heber (1783-1826), Hymns Written and Adapted to the Weekly Church Service of the Year (London: J. Murray, 1827).
