JOYOUS JOY

I once beheld a maiden so fair

She always had a secret lair

Where she communed with heavenly grace

Granting her ease to run life’s race

Seeing her fills one with rapturous joy

Oh am not surprised her name is Joy

In love with Jesus I know she is

She’s so entwined I know she’s His

His fruits I long to make mine, she says

For I know with proof that it pays

One of the fruits I’ve seen is joy

Oh am not surprised her name is Joy

This is a sister that looks so comely

Who makes everyone around feel homely

So sophisticated and yet so simple

Is this maid with a dimple

That makes everyone around her erupt with joy

Oh am not ashamed for her name is joy
