1

What heavenly music do I hear,Salvation sounding free!Ye souls in bondage, lend an ear;This is the Jubilee.

2

How sweetly do the tidings rollAll round from sea to sea,From land to land, from pole to pole,This is the Jubilee.

3

Good news, good news to Adam's race;Let Christians all agree,To sing redeeming love and grace;This is the Jubilee.

4

The gospel sounds a sweet releaseTo all in misery,And bids them welcome home to peace;This is the Jubilee.

5

Jesus is on the mercy-seat,Before him bend the knee;Let heaven and earth his praise repeat;This is the Jubilee.

6

Sinners, be wise, return, and comeUnto the Savior free;The Spirit bids you welcome home;This is the Jubilee.

7

Come, ye redeemed, your tribute bringWith songs of harmony;While on the road to Canaan sing,This is the Jubilee.
