The Cyber Hymnal ‎#590

590. 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!
The year of jubilee is come!
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 sin atoning Lamb;
Redemption by His blood
Throughout the lands 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 naught
Your heritage above
Shall have it back unbought,
The gift of Jesus’ love: [Refrain]

6. The Gospel trumpet hear,
The news of heavenly grace;
And saved from earth, appear
Before your Savior’s face: [Refrain]
