Joy and Light

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1895
Composer: Joseph Barnby

Joy and light

joy and light

Over the crys­tal sea;

Come

come

soft and bright

Over the crys­tal sea.

Come on your snowy pin­ions white

Come in the si­lent calm of night

Watch when the pale stars keep

Bring the trou­bled one

Bring the wea­ry one sleep.

Love and rest

love and rest

Carol in sil­ver tone;

Glad songs

pure and blest

Carol in silver tone.

Come from the fade­less flow­ers that grow

Come from the spark­ling streams that flow

Come in the mid­night deep

Bring the trou­bled one

Bring the wea­ry one sleep.

Voice di­vine

voice di­vine

Speak

and our souls shall hear;

Sweet

sweet words are Thine

Speak

and our souls shall hear.

Tell of a cloud­less re­gion fair

Tell of the ma­ny man­sions there

Speak to the hearts that weep

Bring the trou­bled one

Bring the wea­ry one sleep.
