Joy in Heaven over a Repenting Sinner. Matt. 18. 12-14

1 Who can describe the joys that rise
  Through all the courts of Paradise,
  To see a prodigal return,
  To see an heir of glory born?

2 With joy the Father does approve
  The fruit of his eternal love;
  The Son with joy looks down and sees
  The purchase of his agonies.

3 The Spirit takes delight to view
  The holy soul he formed anew;
  And saints and angels join to sing,
  The growing empire of their King.
