I
THERE IS JOY IN MY SOUL,
SINCE JESUS TOOK CONTROL.
HE PLACED WITHIN MY HEART A HAPPY SONG.
THE JOY BELLS SWEETLY RING,
WHILE OF HIS LOVE I SING.
PRESS ON IT WON'T BE VERY LONG.
II
IN HEAVEN I AM TOLD THE STREETS ARE MADE OF GOLD,
OH, WHAT A HAPPY PLACE TO CALL MY HOME.
UNITED THERE WILL BE,
WE'LL SHOUT THE VICTORY.
PRESS ON IT WON'T BE VERY LONG.
CHORUS
PRESS ON IT WON'T BE VERY LONG, (NOT LONG)
UNTIL WE REACH THAT LAND OF SONG.
IN HEAVEN SOME SWEET DAY I'M GOING THERE TO STAY.
PRESS ON IT WON'T BE VERY LONG.
