Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LVIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Loud let the tuneful trumpet sound Lyrics: 1 Loud let the tuneful trumpet sound,
And spread the joyful tidings round;
Let every soul with transport hear,
And hail the Lord's accepted year.
2 Ye debtors, whom he gives to know,
That you ten thousand talents owe,
When humble at this feet you fall,
Your gracious God forgives them all.
3 Slaves, that have borne the heavy chain
Of sin and hell's tyrannic reign,
To liberty assert your claim,
And urge the great Redeemer's name.
4 The rich inheritance of heaven,
Your joy, your boast, is freely giv'n;
Fair Salem you arrival waits,
With golden streets and pearly gates.
5 Her bless'd inhabitants no more,
Bondage and poverty deplore;
No debt, but love immensely great,
Their joy still rises with the debt.
6 O happy souls that know the sound,
Celestial Light their steps surround,
And shew that Jubilee begun,
Which thro' eternal years shall run.
