).
I will sing halÂleÂluÂjah, for there’s joy in the Lord,
And He fills my heart with rapÂture as I rest on His word;
I will trust in His proÂmise, I will shout I am free
;
In my blessÂèd lovÂing SavÂior I have sweet vicÂtoÂry.
Refrain
There is joy in the Lord, there is joy in the Lord;
Hallelujah, gloÂry, gloÂry, there is joy in the Lord.
There is joy in the Lord, there is joy in the Lord;
Hallelujah, gloÂry, gloÂry, there is joy in the Lord
I will live for the SavÂior, I am His evÂerÂmore,
I am restÂing in His faÂvor, I am safe and seÂcure;
For the light shinÂing brightÂer on my path evÂery day,
Cheers my hapÂpy soul with rapÂture as I walk in the way.
Refrain
When I reach HeavÂen’s porÂtals in that land of the blest,
I shall sing with hoÂly angels of that rest, hapÂpy rest;
I shall dwell there forÂevÂer with my Lord and my king,
And with evÂerÂlastÂing praisÂes make those high archÂes ring.
