Sopranos: There is joy in the presence of the angels of God
over one sinner that repenteth,
All: there is joy in the presence of the angels of God
over one sinner that repenteth,
there is joy in the presence of God,
there is joy in the presence of the angels of God
over one sinner that repenteth,
there is joy in the presence of the angels of God
over one sinner that repenteth.
All (variously): Like as a father pitieth his own children,
even so is the Lord merciful to them that fear Him.
All: Like as a father pitieth his own children,
even so is the Lord merciful to them that fear Him,
is merciful to them that fear Him,
like as a father pitieth his own children,
even so is the Lord merciful to them that fear Him.
There is joy in the presence of the angels of God
over one sinner that repenteth,
over one sinner that repenteth,
there is joy in the presence of the angels of God.
They shall hunger no more,
neither thirst any more, they shall hunger no more,
neither thirst.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes,
shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
