430. Joy By and By

A                          E
O there’ll be joy when the work is done,
E                    A
Joy when the reapers gather home,
A                       D
Bringing the sheaves at set of sun
       A      F# B7 E
To the New Je-ru-sa-lem.
A                          E
Joy, joy, joy, there’ll be joy by and by,
E7                       A    E     A
Joy, joy, joy, where the joys never die;
A    C#   F#m  A7      D
Joy, joy, joy, for the day draweth nigh
         A       E7     A
When the workers gather home.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
O there’ll be joy when the work is done,
Joy when the reapers gather home,
Bringing the sheaves at set of sun
To the New Jerusalem.

[Refrain]
Joy, joy, joy, there’ll be joy by and by,
Joy, joy, joy, where the joys never die;
Joy, joy, joy, for the day draweth nigh
When the workers gather home.

[Verse 2]
Sweet are the songs that we hope to sing,
Grateful the thanks our hearts shall bring,
Praising forever Christ our King
In the New Jerusalem.

[Verse 3]
Pure are the joys that await us there,
Many the golden mansions fair;
Jesus Himself doth them prepare,
In the New Jerusalem.
