Disciples of Christ -- Hymns; Hymns, English
3 Ye slaves of sin and hell,
Your liberty receive,
And safe in Jesus dwell,
And blest in Jesus live:
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.
4 The gospel trumpet hear,
The news of pardoning grace:
Ye happy souls, draw near;
Behold your Saviour’s face:
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.
5 Jesus, our great High Priest,
Has full atonement made;
Ye weary spirits, rest;
Ye mourning souls, be glad:
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.
274 8s, peculiar.
The royal proclamation.
Hear the royal proclamation,
The glad tidings of salvation,
Publishing to every creature,
To the ruined sons of nature,
Jesus reigns—he reigns victorious,
Over heaven and earth most glorious!
Jesus reigns.
2 See the royal banners flying,
Hear the heralds loudly crying:
“Rebel sinners, royal favor
Now is offered by the Saviour.”
3 Here is wine, and milk, and honey,
Come and purchase without money,
Mercy like a flowing fountain
Streaming from the holy mountain.
4 Shout, you tongues of every nation,
To the bounds of the creation,
Shout the praise of Judah’s Lion,
The almighty King of Zion.
5 Shout, O saints! make joyful mention,
Christ has purchased our redemption;
Angels, shout the joyful story,
Through the brighter worlds of glory.
275 6s & 4s.
Holding forth the word of life.
Phil. 2:16.
Sound, sound the truth abroad!
Bear ye the word of God
Through the wide world;
Tell what our Lord has done,
Tell how the day is won,
Tell from his lofty throne
Satan is hurled.
2 Far over sea and land,
Go at your Lord’s command,
Bear ye his name;
Bear it to every shore,
Regions unknown explore,
Enter at every door;
Silence is shame.
3 Speed on the wings of love;
Jesus who reigns above
Bids us to fly;
They who his message bear
Should neither doubt nor fear;
He will their friend appear,
He will be nigh.
4 When on the mighty deep,
He will their spirits keep,
Stayed on his word;
When in a foreign land,
No other friend at hand,
Jesus will by them stand,
Jesus their Lord.
INVITATIONS.
276 L. M. peculiar.
Haste thee; escape thither.
Gen. 19:22.
Haste, traveler, haste! the night comes on,
And many a shining hour is gone;
The storm is gathering in the west,
And thou art far from home and rest:
Haste, traveler, haste!
