Tell It with Joy

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1871
Composer: Howard Doane

Tell it with joy

tell it with joy;

Love in my bo­som is glow­ing;

Jesus’ blood has cleansed me

Jesus makes me free:

Tell it again

tell it again;

O the sweet rap­ture of par­don!

Grace di­vine has saved me

And Je­sus my all shall be.

Weary and lone­ly

Seeking in vain for plea­sure

Far from the fold my spir­it had gone as­tray.

Tell it again

tell it again;

O the sweet rap­ture of par­don!

Grace di­vine has saved me

And Je­sus my all shall be.

Tell it with joy

tell it with joy;

Wonderful

won­der­ful sto­ry!

I was lost till mer­cy

Gently came down from Heav’n:

Tell it with joy

tell it with joy;

Now I am hap­py in Je­sus;

All is calm and peace­ful

And all of my sins for­giv’n.

I will ad­ore Him

Jesus

my dear Re­deem­er

Yes I will give Him glo­ry from day to day.

Tell it with joy

tell it with joy;

Now I am hap­py in Je­sus;

All is calm and peace­ful

And all of my sins for­giv’n.

Come un­to Him

come un­to Him;

Mercy is ten­der­ly plead­ing;

Weary

hea­vy la­den

Still there’s room for thee:

Only be­lieve

on­ly be­lieve;

Jesus is rea­dy and will­ing;

All may come and wel­come

Salvation for all is free:

Why will ye lin­ger?

Mercy is still en­treat­ing;

Come and be hap­py

Come and with rap­ture say—

Tell it with joy

tell it with joy;

Now I am hap­py in Je­sus;

All is calm and peace­ful

And all of my sins for­giv’n.
