Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

There was joy in heaven 
 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. 
 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. 
 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!” 
 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.
