The Joy of the Saints
The joy of the saints is the love of Jesus
Great is this love that produces peace in us!
The source of life, that gives us strength
Is the blood of Christ shed in pain!
Oh! See there on the cross the grace of Jesus
Powerful love, that produces joy!
Oh see, there is the man suffering there
Covered in blood, wounded for you
Stamped on the face such immense pain
With thorns a crown my Lord possesses!
Oh! See there on the cross the grace of Jesus
Powerful love, that produces joy!
With nails, pierced are his feet and hands
Nailed to the wood, in great affliction
His side opened by the cruel spear
Water and blood flow from the Emanuel!
Oh! See there on the cross the grace of Jesus
Powerful love, that produces joy!
By Christ fulfilled was the work of love
Died like a lamb, for you, sinner
Now trusting in the work of the cross
We have life through Christ Jesus
Oh! See there on the cross the grace of Jesus
Powerful love, that produces joy!
