16986. Joy for the Redeemed

1. When the great day of all days comes to one and to all,
And the King of all kings shall ap­pear,
There will be joy for the ones who are rea­dy to go;
They shall re­joice when the day draw­eth near.

Refrain

There will be joy, joy for all,
When the re­deemed, court shall come,
There will be joy, joy for all,
The re­deemed shall reach their home.

2. Will you be rea­dy to stand in the great court of God?
Do you fear for the day to ar­rive?
Will there be joy wait­ing you at the right hand of God?
Do you feel sure you’ve ob­tained last­ing life?

Refrain

3. There will be joy for the ones who have fol­lowed the Lord,
Thro’ the toils of this life here be­low;
They will re­joice in the day when the sum­mons shall come;
They will be willing and ready to go.

Refrain

Notes: With the melody shifting back and forth between the treble and bass clefts, especially in the refrain (see score for details), this song is better suited for a choir than for congregational singing. And even for a choir, it almost certainly needs rearranging so the lyrics more closely match the music
