What Heav’nly Music Do I Hear!

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.
