On a Minister's Jubilee

by James Montgomery 1771–1854

From Sacred Poems and Hymns (1854)

Religion

Hallelujah! heart and voice,
Yielding all the praise to Thee,
Lord, the flock would now rejoice
In their shepherd's jubilee.

Hallelujah! heart and voice,
When the day of God they see,
All Christ's sheep will thus rejoice,
At his own great jubilee.

Hallelujah! heart and voice,
Then in heaven one fold shall be,
And one Shepherd,--to rejoice
In eternal jubilee.
