The Glad Refrain for the Sunday School ‎#85

85. O Hear the Trump of Joy

1 O hear the trump of joy,
O’er the world again resounding;
Awake! behold, our light is come,
O hail its blessed ray;
The light that God has promised
Shall now and ever shine,
The light of life and glory,
With its healing beams divine.

Refrain:
O hear the trump of joy,
O’er the world again resounding
Awake! behold, our light is come,
O hail its blessed ray!

2 Still rings the mighty song,
With the news of full salvation;
Thro’ Christ the everlasting Lord,
The well-beloved Son;
The yoke of sin is broken,
Oppression reigns no more,
The Lord has come to Zion,
Now her night of gloom is o’er. [Refrain]

3 O love, immortal love!
Like a boundless ocean rolling;
With grateful hearts and joyful tongues
We sing that love today;
O glory, hallelujah!
To God the Father, Son;
All glory to the Spirit give
Eternal Thee in One. [Refrain]
