LyicsLoud let the gospel trumpet sound,
And spread the joyful tidings round;
Let ev'ry soul with transport hear,
And hail the Lord's accepted year.
Ye debtors, whom he gives to know
That you ten thousand talents owe,
That you ten thousand talents owe,
When humblest at his feet you fall,
Your gracious God forgives them all,
Your gracious God forgives them all.
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.
The rich inheritance of heav'n,
Your joy, your boast, is freely giv'n;
Fair Salem your arrival watis,
With golden streets, and pearly gates.
Her blest inhabitants no more
Bondage and poverty deplore,
No debt but love immensely great,
Their joy still rises with the debt.
O happy souls, that know the sound!
Celestial light their steps surround,
And show that jubilee begun, that jubilee begun,
That through eternal years shall run.
