430. Joy By and By

E                          B
O there’ll be joy when the work is done,
B                    E
Joy when the reapers gather home,
E                       A
Bringing the sheaves at set of sun
       E      C# F#7 B
To the New Je-ru-sa-lem.
E                          B
Joy, joy, joy, there’ll be joy by and by,
B7                       E    B     E
Joy, joy, joy, where the joys never die;
E    G#   C#m  E7      A
Joy, joy, joy, for the day draweth nigh
         E       B7     E
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.
