LyicsLoud let the tuneful trumpet sound,
And spread the joyful tidings round;
Let every soul with transport hear,
And hail the Lord's accepted year.
Ye debtors, whom he gives to know,
That you ten thousand talents owe,
When humble at his feet you fall,
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 bless the great Redeemer's name.
The rich inheritance of heaven,
Your joy, your boast, is freely given;
Fair Salem your arrival waits,
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 their debt.
O happy souls, that know the sound,
Celestial light their steps surround,
And show the jubilee begun,
Which thro' eternal years shall run.
