Verse 1

When the night is long before us

When the tears have filled our eyes

There is One who stays unchanging

There is hope that will not die

Through the sorrow and the silence

Through the questions of the soul

Christ is holding every moment

Christ will bring us safely home

Chorus

Joy will rise

After sorrow, after night

Joy will rise

Jesus, You will lead us through

Joy will rise

Verse 2

There is morning for the weary

There is singing yet to come

What You promised will not fail us

What You started will be done

So we lift our eyes with courage

So we stand in faith again

For the God who walked beside us

Will not leave us in the pain

Chorus

Joy will rise

After sorrow, after night

Joy will rise

Jesus, You will lead us through

Joy will rise

Bridge

From the ashes You bring beauty

From the waiting You bring song

From the valley You bring praise now

You have held us all along

You are turning grief to glory

You are turning night to dawn

And the hope that You have planted

Will keep carrying us on

Bridge

From the ashes You bring beauty

From the waiting You bring song

From the valley You bring praise now

You have held us all along

You are turning grief to glory

You are turning night to dawn

And the hope that You have planted

Will keep carrying us on

Final Chorus

Joy will rise

After sorrow, after night

Joy will rise

Jesus, You will lead us through

Joy will rise

Outro

Joy will rise

The heart behind the song

A song for
hope.

Joy Will Rise exists to give listeners and gathered worshippers a clear way into hope. The finale resolves the EP with confident worship, letting hope become shared praise.

Explore the meaning

At its heart, the song treats hope as something to be received before it is performed. The focus is not on musical display, but on helping attention turn towards Jesus with language that feels plain, prayerful and singable.

The title gives the song its centre of gravity. Around that centre, the words and movement of the song hold confidence, hope and praise, making room for personal devotion and shared congregational response.

For listening and worship

For everyday listening, the song offers worship language for moments when hope needs to be remembered and sung, not merely understood.

For churches and worship leaders, it is shaped as a closing lift: clear in focus, connected to the wider EP, and intended to serve gathered voices as well as personal prayer.
