Joy of joys! the heav’nly kingdom
Is within the soul of man;
Blessèd truth, so grand, inspiring,
One with God’s eternal plan!
Sing glad praises, sing glad praises,
Sing glad praises evermore,
Sing glad praises, sing glad praises,
Sing glad praises evermore.
Truth of truths! the Christ, the Savior,
Is the light that lighteth all;
This the wisdom, true, unchanging,
Giv’n to save from error’s thrall;
Seek its guidance, seek its guidance,
Seek its guidance evermore,
Seek its guidance, seek its guidance,
Seek its guidance evermore.
Peace of peace I leave now with you,
Not an outward peace I give,
Peace that springs from the Eternal;
In that peace thou’lt truly live.
Life indwelling, life indwelling,
In the promised Comforter;
Life indwelling, life indwelling,
In the promised Comforter.
