Tune: Little Cornard
('Hills of the north, rejoice')
Luke 4 v.16-21
*********
Jesus did teach one day
At Nazareth, did say
In synagogue He read
He by the Spirit led
Speaking some of Isaiah's words
The congregation they all heard
The Spirit of the Lord
Is upon me, the word
Is true, it because He
Has anointed me, see
To preach the gospel to the poor
To heal the broken-hearted sure
And deliverance preach
Unto the captives reach
Recovering of sight
To the blind, give them light
To set at liberty the bruised
And peace to those oppressed, confused
To preach acceptable
Year of Lord, here for all
Then said to them, This day
This scripture here shall stay
It be fulfilled in your hearing
These graces does the Spirit bring
