With the grace of God, we have put together this collection of original hymns and praises over the years from our hearts. May these words touch your lives as they have touched ours, give you hope, and comfort when you are weary. May they help you find your way out of darkness in times of trouble and lead you to the Potter’s hand to shape you and guide you. Most importantly, may you find peace in your heart and always rise up with a Joyful Return into the arms of your heavenly Father, our God and Savior Jesus Christ.

Joyful Return is a Coptic Orthodox choir originating out of St. Peter and St. Paul's Coptic Orthodox Church in Santa Monica, CA. We're a group of mainly Egyptian-American youth who compose, sing hymns and songs to praise the Lord and mediate on His work in our life. Our mission is to spread God's word, the salvation of Christ and the joy of the Holy Spirit wherever God leads us.
