Jesus Thou Joy, Thou Son Of God Eternal
There is a name that overflows our hearts with praise
Unfolding from the Bosom of our God.
He left that place of wealth and untold majesty
Emptying Himself of glory, not of love.
Refrain:
Jesus Thou Joy!
Thou Son of God - Eternal.
Yet sin and shame, as Man
You came to bear.
You died for me,
A sinner lost and empty
To pay my debt
And justify by grace - so free.
Now with my heart, I worship at your footstool.
Exalted high, a name above all names.
You won the prize, the wreath, the crown of victory.
To come again Your rule on earth to claim.
And on that day - in air, in clouds - we’ll meet You.
To ever be, O Saviour, face to face.
We’ll shed the tears of Joy and Love outpouring,
When in Your arms we’ll finally embrace.
