The Jubilee (Kerr)

lyricist: Robert Kerr, 1878
Composer: David Dortch

The sil­ver trum­pets call

The glad­some ju­bi­lee!

The fet­ters now must fall;

The bonds­men may go free!

For Je­sus has the ran­som paid

And the new way to glo­ry made.

The sil­ver trum­pets call

The glad­some ju­bi­lee!

Let Heav’n and earth agree

To sound His fame abroad

Thro’ whom the ju­bi­lee

Calls back the world to God.

How fer­vent­ly His heart doth burn

To see His ban­ished ones re­turn!

Let Heav’n and earth agree

To sound His fame abroad.

Lost Ed­en is re­stored;

All hail the ju­bi­lee!

Let Je­sus be ad­ored

For grace so full and free.

Ye rui­ned souls

no long­er roam;

No more des­pise your blood-bought home.

Lost Ed­en is re­stored;

All hail the ju­bi­lee!

The Gos­pel bu­gle blow

O’er ev­ery land and sea

Till Sa­tan’s cap­tives know

That Je­sus makes them free!

Soon may He see them

born again

The hap­py sub­jects of His reign.

The Gosp­el bu­gle blow

O’er ev­ery land and sea.
