"When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter.... Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy" (Psalm 126:1-5). "And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost" (Acts 13:52).
There is a joy that fills the heart
So full it overflows.
We cannot know this joy apart
From God the Holy Ghost.
This is not the kind of joy
That circumstances feed;
Joy in Christ does not employ
What others say we need.
This is joy that finds its source
In God the Holy Spirit,
Like a steam that runs its course
Wherever God will steer it.
