1 To tell the matchless story of my Saviour’s love,
What joy, sweet joy, it gives me!
To tell why he descended from him home above,
What joy it gives me!

Refrain:
What joy, wonderful joy,
What perfect joy it gives me!
To tell the matchless story of the Saviour’s love,
What joy it gives me!

2 To tell the world that Jesus washed my sins away,
What joy, sweet joy, it gives me!
To know that if I follow him I shall not stray,
What joy it gives me! [Refrain]

3 To know that he can comfort every soul that grieves,
What joy, sweet joy, it gives me!
To tell the sad and sorrowing that Christ relieves,
What joy it gives me! [Refrain]

4 To tell why Jesus suffered so and bled and died,
What joy, sweet joy, it gives me!
To lead a weary sinner to his wounded side,
What joy it gives me! [Refrain]
