O there’ll be joy when the work is done
Joy when the reapers gather home
Bringing the sheaves at set of sun
To the New Jerusalem
(Refrain)
Joy, joy, there’ll be joy by and by,
Joy, joy, where the joys never die;
Joy, joy for the day draweth nigh
When the workers gather home
Sweet are the songs that we hope to sing
Grateful the thanks our hearts shall bring
Praising forever Christ our King,
In the New Jerusalem
(Repeat Refrain)
Pure are the joys that await us there,
Many the golden mansions fair;
Jesus Himself doth them prepare
In the New Jerusalem
(Repeat Refrain)
