430. Joy By and By

Eb                         Bb
O there’ll be joy when the work is done,
Bb                   Eb
Joy when the reapers gather home,
Eb                      Ab
Bringing the sheaves at set of sun
       Eb     C  F7 Bb
To the New Je-ru-sa-lem.
Eb                         Bb
Joy, joy, joy, there’ll be joy by and by,
Bb7                      Eb   Bb    Eb
Joy, joy, joy, where the joys never die;
Eb   G    Cm   Eb7     Ab
Joy, joy, joy, for the day draweth nigh
         Eb      Bb7    Eb
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.
