109. The Gospel Trumpet

1 Hark! how the gospel trumpet sounds,
Thro' all the world the echo bounds,
And Jesus by redeeming blood
Is bringing sinners home to God,
And guides him safely by his word,
To endless day.

2 Hail, all victorious conq'ring Lord,
By all the heav'nly hosts ador'd,
Who undertook for fallen man,
And bro't salvation thro' thy name,
That we with thee might live and reign,
In endless day.

3 Fight on, ye conquering saints, fight on,
And when the conquest you have won,
Then palms of vict'ry you shall bear,
And in his kingdom have a share,
And crowns of glory you shall wear
In endless day.

4 Thy blood dear Jesus, once was spilt,
To save our souls from sin and guilt;
And sinners now may come to God,
And find salvation through his word,
And sail by faith upon that flood,
To endless day.

5 Thro' storms and calms by faith we steer,
By feeble hopes and gloomy fears,
'Till we arrive at Cana'n's shore,
Where sin and sorrow are no more
We shout our trials, there all o'er,
To endless day.

6 Then we shall in sweet chorus join,
With saints and angels all combine,
To sing of his redeeming love,
When rolling years shall cease to move,
And this shall be our theme above,
In endless day.
