New English Seventh Day Adventist Hymnal

Hymn 430 JOY BY AND BY Lyrics

1
O there’ll be joy when the work is done,
Joy when the reapers gather home,
Bringing the sheaves at set of sun
To the New Jerusalem.

CHORUS:
Joy, (joy) joy, there’ll be joy by and by,
Joy, (joy) joy, where the joys never die;
Joy, (joy) joy, for the day draweth nigh
When the workers gather home.

2
Sweet are the songs that we hope to sing,
Grateful the thanks our hearts shall bring,
Praising forever Christ our King
In the New Jerusalem.

3
Pure are the joys that await us there,
Many the golden mansions fair;
Jesus Himself doth them prepare,
In the New Jerusalem.
