A Selection of Psalms and Hymns ‎#XLVI

XLVI. The gospel Jubilee

1 Loud let the tuneful trumpet sound,
And spread the joyful tidings round,
Let every soul with transport hear,
And hail the Lord's accepted year.

2 Ye Debtors whom he gives to know,
That you ten thousand talents owe,
When humble at this feet you fall,
Your gracious GOD forgives them all.

3 Slaves, that have borne the heavy Chain
Of sin and Hell's tyrannic reign,
To liberty assert your claim,
And urge the great Redeemer's name.

4 The rich inheritance of Heaven,
Your joy, your boast, is freely given,
Fair Salem you arrival waits,
With golden streets and pearly gates.

5 Her bless'd inhabitants no more,
Bondage and poverty deplore;
No Debt, but love immensely great,
Their Joy still rises with the Debt.

6 O happy Souls that know the sound!
Celestial Light their steps surround,
And shew the Jubilee begun,
Which thro' eternal Years shall run.
