  • The gospel is advancing
    and freedom is commencing,
    with leaping and with dancing
    we’ll hail the Jubilee.
    The fire is increasing,
    the flame is never ceasing,
    I feel I am releasing
    and now I will be free.

    Now in the strength of union
    subdue the great Apollyon,
    believers in communion
    proclaim the Jubilee.
    And while the trump is sounding,
    and Antichrist confounding,
    our love and zeal abounding,
    determined to be free.

    With freedom I’m delighted,
    I will not feel affrighted,
    come let us be united
    and sound the jubilee.
    The bands of sin are breaking,
    the devil’s kingdom shaking,
    and his foundation quaking
    because we will be free.

    The gospel fire is blazing,
    the world with wonder gazing,
    they say it is amazing-
    Is this your Jubilee?
    But we will shout like thunder
    and fill the world with wonder,
    we’ll break our bands asunder
    and then we will be free.
