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.
-Mrs. L. D. Avery-Stuttle. {CIS 246.3}
