The Joy of Truth

What is this joy, surpasses pleasure here,
Immerses us in truth we’ve never seen,
‘Twas always there and now dispels our fear,
And with it sin as though it’s never been?

How clearly now we can His wisdom see
Wrapped up in beauty that’s seen all around,
As each becomes the one he’s meant to be,
And heaven’s angels sing their joyful sound.

We enter into joy of Trinity
Who made us all and now redeems each one,
As we before those Three on bended knee
Await the consummation they’ve begun.

Oh, joy! On earth here truth in love we know–
This wisdom Church receives is heaven’s bow.
