O
WHAT JOY!
0 what joy!
Jesus Christ is Lord!
Jesus Christ is risen; Jesus Christ the Word!
0 what joy! Joy above,
Joy below, joy of love!
Joy to know Christ is now outpoured.
0
what Joy! Promise all come true!
Now the Spirit's given, not unto a few!
0 what Joy! joyful sounds,
Joy around, joy abounds!
Joy to tell Christ has died for you.
0
what joy! How can all this be?
Joy like unto heaven, here and now and free!
0 what joy! joyful call,
Joy for you, joy for all!
Joy to feel, Christ alive in me.
0
what joy! Heaven here begun!
Glory to the Father! Glory to the Son!
0 what joy! Glory too!
Spirit's voice: Christ in you!
All is joy! Christ has made all one!
This
hymn can be sung to the Gavotte by William Boyce.
