Description
The first of many furlough/lockdown tunes.
Named for Downing Place United Reformed Church, and its new building.
Text
Blest are the eyes that see;
The ears are blest that hear
The trumpet of the Jubilee,
The great Sabbatic year.
We plough, nor sow no more,
Nor toil for living bread;
For we've a never failing store,
A table plenteous spread.
The servant now is free;
The hateful heavy yoke
(That all might taste true liberty)
From ev'ry neck is broke.
