There is joy, joy, joy!
There is room for all, in my Father's house,
There is room for all, in my Father's house.
There is room for all, in my Father's house;
There is joy, joy, joy!
No more dyin' there, in my Father's house,
In my Father's house, in my Father's house.
No more dyin' there, in my Father's house;
There is joy, joy, joy!
Sweet communion there, in my Father's house,
