Hymn 472 - "Jesus, Lord, we joy before Thee,"

 

Jesus, Lord, we joy before Thee,

Sorrow's night is o'er;

Foes are vanquished, Thou art Victor

Evermore. 

 

 All the way Thy love has trodden

We with gladness trace,

All Thy faithfulness and meekness,

All Thy grace.

 

To Thy Father's will obedient,

Thou to death hast been;

Righteousness and peace embracing

There are seen.

 

'Tis as risen, Lord, we hail Thee—

Shadows passed away;

Love has triumphed, Thou hast made

Thine for aye. 

 

Joy we thus in Thee, Lord Jesus,

Gladly praising Thee;

Thine the triumph, Thine the glory

Ever be!
