Found there<\/a>:<\/p>\n

1. All praise to the Lord, Whose trumpet we hear,
\nWhich speaks in his word, The festival year:
\nThe loud proclamation Of freedom from thrall,
\nAnd gospel-salvation is publish’d to all.<\/p>\n

2. The year of release Even now is begun,
\nAnd pardon, and peace, With Jesus sent down;
\nEternal redemption Thro’ him we obtain,
\nAnd present exemption, From passion and pain.<\/p>\n

3 Ye spirits enslav’d Your liberty claim,
\nBelieve, and be sav’d, Thro’ Jesus’s Name;
\nThat infinite Lover Of sinners embrace,
\nAnd gladly recover His forfeited grace.<\/p>\n

4. With joyfullest news Your prisons resound,
\nYour fetters are loose, Your souls are unbound:
\nResume the possession For which ye were born,
\nFrom Satan’s oppression To heaven return.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Happy New Year! We hope that 2022 brings safety, prosperity and joy to all members of the House, past, present and future.#ChristChurchTogether<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/0S55ej1g1R<\/a><\/p>\n
