Let the Joy Overflow

Jer.15.16

There’s a clear fountain flowing

From the bright throne above,

And its waters are glowing

With the sunshine of love;

Take the blest consolation,

Which the Lord will bestow,

Take the cup of salvation—

Let the joy overflow.

O the joy! With this wondrous salvation

Be our hearts all aglow;

O the joy! Let the blessing run over,

And joy overflow.

Many hearts need the story—

Are athirst for His grace;

Go to them with His glory

Shining out from your face;

Tell of Jesus your Savior!

If His mercies you know,

Show the light of His favor—

Let the joy overflow.

Be our lives freely yielded to the Savior’s command;

By His care ever shielded

And upheld by His hand;

In the pathways of sadness,

Sweetest lilies may grow;

Let us sow seeds of gladness—

Let the joy overflow.
