430. Joy By and By

C                          G
O there’ll be joy when the work is done,
G                    C
Joy when the reapers gather home,
C                       F
Bringing the sheaves at set of sun
       C      A  D7 G
To the New Je-ru-sa-lem.
C                          G
Joy, joy, joy, there’ll be joy by and by,
G7                       C    G     C
Joy, joy, joy, where the joys never die;
C    E    Am   C7      F
Joy, joy, joy, for the day draweth nigh
         C       G7     C
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.
