What Heav’nly Music Do I Hear!

Public domain
What heav’nly music do I hear! Salvation sounding free, Ye souls in bondage, lend an ear; This is the Jubilee. How sweetly do the tidings roll, All round from sea to sea, From land to land, from pole to pole; This is the Jubilee. Good news, good news to Adam’s race; Let Christians all agree, To sing redeeming love and grace; This is the Jubilee. The Gospel sounds a sweet release, To all in misery, And bids them welcome on to peace; This is the Jubilee. Sinners, be wise, return and come Unto the Savior free; The Spirit bids you welcome on; This is the Jubilee. Jesus is on the mercy seat, Before Him bend the knee; Let Heav’n and earth His praise repeat, This is the Jubilee. O all who dwell in foreign lands, In want and poverty; Return and come to Canaan’s land; This is the Jubilee. Come, ye redeemed, your tribute bring, With songs of harmony; While on the road to Canaan, sing This is the Jubilee.
