Representative Text

1 What sound is this salutes my ear?
'Tis Michael's trump methinks I hear,
'Tis Michael's trump methinks I hear;
Th' expected day has come.
Behold, the heavens, the earth, the sea.
Proclaim the year of Jubilee;
Proclaim the year of Jubilee;
Return, ye exiles, home.

2 Behold, the fair Jerusalem,
Illuminated by the Lamb,
In glory doth appear.
Fair Zion rising from the tombs
To meet the Bridegroom: lo! he comes,
And hails the festive year.

3 My soul is striving to be thee;
I long to rise and wing the air,
And trace the sacred road.
Adieu, adieu, all earthly things;
O that I had an angel's wings!
I'd quickly see my God.

4 Fly, lingering moments, fly, O fly!
I thirst, I pant, I long to try
Angelic joys to prove!
Soon I'll receive from Christ my Lord
Eternal life, the great reward,
And shout redeeming love.

Author: John A. Granade

Born: 1770, New Bern County, North Carolina. Died: December 6, 1807, Sumner County, Tennessee. After a period of desperate depression, Granade came to Christ in 1800 at a Presbyterian camp meeting at Desha’s Creek, Sumner County, Tennessee. Ordained a Methodist circuit riding preacher, Granade was referred to by the Nashville Banner as the "wild man of Goose Creek" (Sumner County, Tennessee) and was also variously known as "the poet of the backwoods" and "the Wild Man of Holston." Granade worked in part in the world of shape-note singing in the Shenandoah Valley, where a variety of musical sources, both sacred and profane, were at play. His works include: Pilgrim’s Songster (Lexington, Kentucky: 1804) --www.hymntime.com/tc… Go to person page >
