Section 8-Levitical Laws and Ceremonies

The Year of Jubilee

Oh, glory to God! it is coming again,
’Tis the glad jubilee of the children of men;
Then blow ye the trumpet, shout glory, and sing,
And join in the praises of Jesus, the King.CIS 246.1

‘Tis the glad antitype of that day long ago,
When the hosts of the Lord might not gather or sow;
When the minions of Israel from labour were free,
And the land was to rest in the glad jubilee.CIS 246.2

Yes, gladder by far is that rest by and by,
When on wings like the eagle we mount to the sky;
We shall dwell evermore in that land of the blest,
In that grand jubilee, in that Sabbath of rest.CIS 246.3
