JUBILEE HYMN/for the/FIRST OF AUGUST,1834./Fair shines the morning star/The silver trumpets sound/Their notes re-echoing far,/While dawns the day around./Joy to the SLAVE the slave is FREE/It is the year of Jubilee.//Captives of sin and shame,/On earth and ocean, hear/An angel's voice proclaim/The LORD'S accepted year,/Brethren, arise we hail you free/It is the year of Jubilee./Temperance Fisher August 1835 Aged
