Joyful

Lyrics

Am I a soldier of the cross,
A foll’wer of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His name?
Must I be carried to the skies
On flow’ry beds of ease?
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed thru bloody seas?

Chorus:

O, that will be joyful, joyful, joyful!
O, that will be joyful
To meet to part no more.
To meet to part no more,
On Canaan’s happy shore;
We all shall meet at Jesus’ feet
With those who’ve gone before.
