For 3 years in a row now, we always see something interesting inside the convention program. The very last song of the 3-day program is unique. It is not something you can find in our songbook. On the program, it is labeled as "New Original Song and Closing Prayer".
Two years ago, we received the original song "Give Me Courage" on our "Be Courageous"! Regional Convention. Last year's "Love Never Fails"! Regional Conventions and International Conventions, we got the "Unfailing Love" song. Both of these songs are now downloadable at JW.ORG website.
For the third year, we saw the phrase "New Original Song and Closing Prayer" again on the Sunday afternoon program. We are surprised that they already released the song! It is entitled "Our Joy Eternally". And they are encouraging us to memorize and practice it. Below is the lyrics to the song:

Our Joy Eternally JW Lyrics
2020 Always Rejoice! Regional Convention Closing Song
(VERSE 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.
(VERSE 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.

Hello! I've been following your blog for a couple years now...I'm so grateful for the PDF of all the original songs' lyrics. Thank you so much! If you could find piano music for the original songs (left and right hand) that would be SO awesome! I've found videos on Youtube and have attempted to create some sheet music out of it. Did a semi-OK job. Email me at jackiehorner4@gmail.com if you're interested in it to post here. Take care! Jackie your sister from CT
