Joy! Joy! Joy!

lyricist: C. W. Byron, 1897
Composer: Warren Collins

When lost in sin

I came to Christ my Sav­ior

Who for me on the cross did die;

He ban­ished sin and sad­ness

And gave me joy and glad­ness;

Now I’m run­ning ov­er with joy! joy! joy!

Glory

glo­ry

Je­sus is com­ing again

Glory

glo­ry

Je­sus is com­ing again;

He’s com­ing again

for­ev­er to reign

He’s com­ing as King to reign.

Glory

glo­ry

Je­sus is com­ing again

Glory

glo­ry

Je­sus is com­ing again;

The world quite failed to give me sa­tis­fact­ion

Though its vain plea­sures I did try;

An ach­ing void they gave me

From which the Lord did save me;

Now I’m run­ning ov­er with joy! joy! joy!

And ev­er since I learned to live for Je­sus

Joy and peace came with­out al­loy;

The De­vil oft has tried me

but Je­sus Christ in­side me

Keeps me run­ning ov­er with joy! joy! joy!

Poor wan­der­ing one

astray in sin and sad­ness

Come to Christ who can sin de­stroy;

Although you are so wretch­ed

His arm is now out­stretched

To save your soul and give you per­fect joy! joy! joy!
