To mourning hearts His joy will come
When we turn toward His Cross
Where sacrifice He has become
When we thought we were lost.
He takes our sin into His death
And with Him we arise;
New life we know by Spirit’s breath,
A life will never die.
Our sorrows cast into the deep
As joy invades our souls,
And His joy He within us keeps–
With warmth casts out our cold.
His everlasting praise we sing
As we to heaven go,
And His yoke He around us rings
Because He loves us so.
