430. Joy By and By

Db                         Ab
O there’ll be joy when the work is done,
Ab                   Db
Joy when the reapers gather home,
Db                      Gb
Bringing the sheaves at set of sun
       Db     Bb Eb7 Ab
To the New Je-ru-sa-lem.
Db                         Ab
Joy, joy, joy, there’ll be joy by and by,
Ab7                      Db   Ab    Db
Joy, joy, joy, where the joys never die;
Db   F    Bbm  Db7     Gb
Joy, joy, joy, for the day draweth nigh
         Db      Ab7    Db
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.
