Resound the Glad Tidings

1 Awake the loud trumpet, the glad jubilee,
Proclaim it on triumph, the captives are free;
The day of redemption for sinners has come,
The ransomed of Zion return to their home.

Refrain:
Resound the glad tidings o’er land and o’er sea,
The Savior has conquered, his people are free;
Resound the glad tidings o’er land and o’er sea,
The Savior has conquered, his people are free.

2 Break forth into singing, be joyful, O earth,
Exalt the Redeemer, his goodness and worth;
And publish abroad his adorable name,
With song and with shouting his honors proclaim. [Refrain]

3 The Son hath delivered the wretched, oppressed,
And given the burdened and sorrowing rest;
His arm has salvation and victory wrought,
His blood and redemption and liberty bought. [Refrain]

4 With cymbals and songs and harp of sweet sound,
The fame and the glory of Christ spread around;
With gladness and triumph re-echo his praise,
Extol and adore him in jubilant lays. [Refrain]
