- 1Who can describe the joys that rise
- Through all the courts of Paradise,
- To see a prodigal return,
- To see an heir of glory born?
- 2With joy the Father doth approve
- The fruit of his eternal love;
- The Son with joy looks down and sees
- The purchase of his agonies.
- 3The Spirit takes delight to view
- The holy soul he formed anew;
- And saints and angels join to sing,
- The growing empire of their King.
