132. Jubilee song

1 Oh, ye who have lost your possessions of peace,
Whose soul for the rest that remaineth doth yearn,
The voice of the Lord bids your sorrowing cease,
This year of my jubilee, go shall return.

Refrain:
Oh, jubilee year! jubilee year!
Now let its glad shoutings begin.
The high-sounding trumpet shall gladden the ear,
Proclaiming God's liberty, freedom from sin.

2 Ye, who from the house of your Father astray,
Are longing no more from his presence to roam,
The voice of his mercy doth tenderly say,
This year of my jubilee, ye shall return. [Refrain]

3 Ye, who with his foes are enrolling your names,
Who far from his service are bending the knee,
The voice of Jehovah your ransom proclaims,
This year of my jubilee, all shall go free. [Refrain]
