Lead Sheet

1. The stars that fill the summer night

Look down from above.

The beauty of the day and night

You fashioned with love.

Your hands prepared the land and sea,

And ev’rything that came to be

Brought joy to your heart.

(CHORUS)

There is joy in your creation,

In the message of salvation,

And the Paradise to come.

But to have your love forever

Is a real and lasting treasure.

You alone will prove to be

Our joy eternally.

2. Jehovah, we have all we need

To bring us delight—

The things we hear and touch and see

And feel deep inside.

You gave us such a perfect start,

Eternity in ev’ry heart,

And joy in our lives.

(CHORUS)

There is joy in your creation,

In the message of salvation,

And the Paradise to come.

But to have your love forever

Is a real and lasting treasure.

You alone will prove to be

Our joy eternally.

(BRIDGE)

This joy could not be ours

Without the gift of your Son.

His sacrifice has paid the price

So joy could be ours for all time.

(CHORUS)

There is joy in your creation,

In the message of salvation,

And the Paradise to come.

But to have your love forever

Is a real and lasting treasure.

You alone will prove to be

Our joy eternally.

(CHORUS)

There is joy in your creation,

In the message of salvation,

And the Paradise to come.

But to have your love forever

Is a real and lasting treasure.

You alone will prove to be

Our joy eternally.
