Hymn 101

Who can describe the joys that rise Through all the courts of Paradise, To see a prodigal return, To see an heir of glory born?

With joy the Father doth approve The fruit of his eternal love; The Son with joy looks down and sees The purchase of his agonies.

The Spirit takes delight to view The holy soul he formed anew; And and angels join to sing, The growing empire of their King.
