Trinity Hymnal ‎#392

392. Blow ye the trumpet, blow!

1 Blow ye the trumpet, blow!
The gladly solemn sound
Let all the nations know,
To earth's remotest bound;

Refrain:
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

2 Jesus, our great High Priest,
Hath full atonement made;
Ye weary spirits, rest;
Ye mournful souls, be glad: [Refrain]

3 Extol the Lamb of God;
The sacrificial Lamb;
Redemption through his blood
Throughout the world proclaim: [Refrain]

4 Ye slaves of sin and hell,
Your liberty receive;
And safe in Jesus dwell,
And blest in Jesus live: [Refrain]

5 Ye who have sold for nought
Your heritage above,
Receive it back unbought,
The gift of Jesus' love: [Refrain]

6 The gospel trumpet hear,
The news of heav'nly grace;
And, saved from earth, appear
Before your Saviour's face: [Refrain]

Amen.
