"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn" (Isaiah 61:1,2). "And He [Jesus] began to say unto them, This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears" (Luke 4:21).
The acceptable year of our Savior is here;
In fact it began when our Lord came to earth.
The day of His vengeance is yet drawing near;
We yearn in the present for every new birth.
The day of His vengeance shall bring tribulation,
And then He shall reign as the King of all kings.
Yet now is the age of His grace and salvation;
The once brokenhearted thus healed now sings.
And now is the time when the captives are freed,
As prisons are opened to them that are bound.
Thus we proclaim Christ is risen indeed,
And in Him the blessings of heaven are found.
