Who Can Describe The Joys That Rise
Through All The Courts Of Paradise,
To See A Prodigal Return,
To See An Heir Of Glory Born?

With Joy The Father Doth Approve
The Fruit Of His Eternal Love;
The Son With Joy Looks Down, And Sees
The Purchase Of His Agonies.

The Spirit Takes Delight To View
The Contrite Soul He Formed Anew;
And Saints And Angels Join To Sing
The Growing Empire Of Their King.
