Lyrics:

(Smith/Kaye/Daugherty)



Oh glad day to celebrate ‘Neath the cloudless sky

Air so sweet Water pure

Fields ripe with rye Come one, come all

Gather round Discard your Sunday shoes

Come on now Oh my land

Be a jubilee Come on girl

Come on boy Be a jubilee



Oh my land Oh my good

People don't be shy Weave the birth of harmony

With children's happy cries Hand in hand

We're dancing around In a freedom ring

Come on now Oh my land

Be a jubilee Come on girl

Come on boy Be a jubilee



We will never fade away Doves shall multiply

Yet I see hawks circling the sky Scattering our glad day

With debt and despair What good hour

Will restore our troubled air? Come on people

Gather round You know what to do

Come on people Oh my land

What be troubling Oh my land

What be troubling What be troubling

What be troubling you



We are love and the future We stand in the midst of fury and weariness

Who dreams of joy and radiance? Who dreams of war and sacrifice?

Our sacred realms are being squeezed Curtailing civil liberties

Recruit the dreams that sing to thee Let freedom ring



Freedom ring Freedom ring

Jubilee Oh my land

Oh glad day Oh my land

Hear our cry Freedom ring

Oh glad day Oh my land

Jubilee Jubilee
