O Jesus, Lord, 'tis joy to know
|
|
| 1. | O Jesus, Lord, 'tis joy to know |
| | Thy path is o'er of shame and woe, |
| | By Thee so meekly trod. |
| | All finished is Thy work of toil, |
| | Thou reapest now the fruit and spoil, |
| | Exalted by our God. |
| 2. | Thy holy head, once bound with thorns, |
| | The crown of glory now adorns; |
| | Thy seat, the Father's throne. |
| | O Lord, e'en now we sing Thy praise, |
| | Ours the eternal song to raise, |
| | Worthy the Lord alone! |
| 3. | We triumph in Thy triumphs, Lord, |
| | Thy joys our deepest joys afford, |
| | The fruit of love divine. |
| | While sorrowing, suff'ring, toiling here, |
| | How does the thought our spirits cheer, |
| | The throne of glory's Thine! |
