What a Joy
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
O what a joy
O what a pleasure
When you have made
Jesus Christ your treasure
The cares of this world will all melt away
As you remain in Him day by day
And then when the end of all things has drawn near
The sound of His voice is all that you’ll hear
O what a joy
O what a pleasure
When you have made
Jesus Christ your treasure
