1 I never shall forget the day
When Jesus washed my sins away;
Oh! my soul was very happy;
Will you go along with me?
Oh! my soul was very happy;
Come and sound the jubilee!
2 I burdened was with sin and shame,
But Jesus took away the stain.
And my soul was very happy,
Will you go along with me?
And my soul was very happy,
Come and sound the jubilee!
3 I’m going now to Heav’n above,
To sing the Savior’s dying love.
And my soul is very happy;
Will you go along with me?
Oh! my soul is very happy;
Come and sound the jubilee!
4 There’s fathers there, and mothers, too,
And don’t you want to go there, too?
Oh! your soul will be so happy,
Won’t you go along with me?
Oh! your soul will be so happy,
Come and sound the jubilee!

Notes: | A version of these lyrics first appeared in Second Advent Hymns (Exeter, New Hampshire: A. R. Brown, 1842). However, the first source we have seen that credits Williams as the author is Glory Songs, by Mrs. & Mrs. John T. Benson (Nashville, Tennessee: Pentecostal Mission Publishing, 1916), number 94, so possibly the 1916 version was Williams’ rearrangement of a text by earlier author. |
