1 Blow the Gospel trumpet, brother,
Over land and sea;
Sound the news to all creation:
Christ will set you free;
Free and happy every moment,
Tho’ by Satan bound;
He is able, do not doubt Him,
Let His grace abound.
2 Sing, and pray, and preach for Jesus
Everywhere you go;
Wake the slumbering sinful nations
On the brink of woe;
Tell them of that cleansing fountain
Flowing deep and wide
From Mount Calvary’s sacred summit,
From His pierced side.
3 In the Spirit’s holy unction
Preach the word of God,
Till its melting power brings the
Lost to Jesus’ blood;
Compass every heathen nation
Filled with sinful dearth;
Scatter light and truth from Heaven
Over all the earth.
4 Send the Gospel proclamation
All around the globe,
Freedom, freedom for the captive
In his sinful robe;
Search in every hidden corner
For the honest ones;
Use the time, and work for Jesus
Till the judgment comes.
