[Hark! the jubilee is sounding]

[_]

The following poem is scored for music in the source text.

[1]

Hark! the jubilee is sounding,
O the joyful news is come;
Free salvation is proclaimed
In and through God's only Son:
Now we have an invitation,
To the meek and lowly Lamb,
Glory, honour, and salvation;
Christ, the Lord, is come to reign.

2

Come, dear friends, and don't neglect it,
Come to Jesus in your prime;
Great salvation, don't reject it,
O receive it, now's your time;
Now the Saviour is beginning
To revive his work again.
Glory, honour, &c.

3

Now let each one cease from sinning,
Come and follow Christ the way;
We shall all receive a blessing,
If from him we do not stray;
Golden moments we've neglected,
Yet the Lord invites again!
Glory, honour, &c.

4

Come, let us run our race with patience,
Looking unto Christ the Lord,
Who doth live and reign for ever,
With his Father and our God;
He is worthy to be praised,
He is our exalted king,
Glory, honour, &c.

5

Come, dear children, praise your Jesus,
Praise him, praise him evermore.
May his great love now constrain us,
His great name for to adore;
O then let us join together,
Crowns of glory to obtain!
Glory, honour, &c.
