When A Sinner Comes

When a sinner comes, as a sinner may,

There is joy, there is joy;

When he turns to God in the Gospel way,

There is joy, there is joy.

Refrain

There is joy among the angels,

And their harps with music ring,

When a sinner comes repenting,

Bending low before the King.

When a soul is born in the kingdom bright,

There is joy, there is joy;

When it walks by faith in the Gospel light,

There is joy, there is joy.

Refrain

When a pilgrim comes to the river wide,

There is joy, there is joy;

When he dwells secure on the other side,

There is joy, there is joy.
