[Chorus]

There will be a jubilee

Oh my Lord, oh my Lord

There'll be a jubilee

When the children all go free

Yeah, they'll lay down their swords

They'll study war no more

There'll be a great big jubilee

[Verse 1]

When the mother saw him comin'

Yeah, she greeted him with a smile

She threw her arms around him

Sayin', "This is my darlin' child"

Yeah, the father told the servants

"Go kill the fattest calf

Oh tell your friends and neighbors

My son's come home at last"

[Chorus]

There'll be a jubilee

Oh my Lord, oh my Lord

There'll be a jubilee

When the children all go free

Yeah, they'll lay down their swords

They'll study war no more

There'll be a great big jubilee

There will be a jubilee

Oh my Lord, oh my Lord

There'll be a jubilee

When the children all go free

Yeah, they'll lay down their swords

They'll study war no more

There'll be a great big jubilee

[Verse 2]

Fightin' days is over

And the victory has been won

There'll be a day of rejoicing

When our boys come marching home

Yeah, their fathers greet their sons

They'll greet them one by one

They're gonna lay down their swords

And they'll study war no more

[Chorus]

There will be a jubilee

Oh my Lord, oh my Lord

There'll be a jubilee

When the children all go free

Yeah, they'll lay down their swords

They'll study war no more

There'll be a great big jubilee

There will be a jubilee

Oh my Lord, oh my Lord

There'll be a jubilee

When the children all go free

Yeah, they'll lay down their swords

They'll study war no more

There'll be a great big jubilee

There will be a jubilee

Oh my Lord, oh my Lord

There'll be a jubilee

When the children all go free

Yeah, they'll lay down their swords

They'll study war no more

There'll be a great big jubilee
