Sing Songs of Jubilee

Verse 1

Ye people of the Living God, Lift up your heads and sing; To magnify his holy name Let every glad harp ring.

Chorus

O let no harp be silent now, Sing songs of jubilee; The captor’s pow’r is overcome, Praise God, praise God, we’re free!

Verse 2

Why should his people mournful be? Why should their songs be stilled? We’re free! We’re free! O sing it o’er Till every heart is thrilled!

Verse 3

Once sold for naught to serve as slaves, Our precious birthright lost; Our blest Redeemer ransomed us At great and fearful cost.

Verse 4

Tho’ in the land of strangers now, Surrounded by the foe, Ere long with songs and shouts of joy To Zion fair we’ll go.
