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 roll
All 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 release
To 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 come
Unto the Savior free;
The Spirit bids you welcome home;
This is the Jubilee.

7

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