582. 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,
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 mourning souls, be glad.
The year of jubilee has come!
Return! ye ransomed sinners, home.

3 Extol the Lamb of God,
The all-atoning Lamb;
Redemption in his blood
Throughout the world proclaim.
The year of jubilee is come
Return! ye ransomed sinners, home.

4 Ye who have sold for nought
Your heritage above,
Shall have it back unbought,
The gift of Jesus' love.
The year of jubilee has come!
Return! ye ransomed sinners, home.

5 Ye slaves of sin and hell,
Your liberty receive,
And safe in Jesus dwell,
And blest in Jesus live.
The year of jubilee has come!
Return! ye ransomed sinners, home.

6 The gospel trumpet hear,
The news of heavenly grace;
And, saved from earth, appear
Before your Saviour's face.
The year of jubilee is come!
Return! ye ransomed sinners, home.
