14. I'll Blow the Gospel Trumpet

Chorus:
Let us blow the gospel trumpet,
We’ll blow the gospel trumpet,
Let us blow the gospel trumpet,
Till all the world shall hear.

1 I’ll blow the gospel trumpet
While I am here below;
And publish free salvation,
As through the world I go. [Chorus]

2 Then when my mission’s ended,
And all my work is done’
When God shall call his watchman,
To bring his jewels home. [Chorus]

3 I’ll lay aside my Bible,
And blow the trump no more;
But join my brother watchmen
On Canaan’s happy share. [Chorus]

4 Then blow the gospel trumpet,
Ye servants of the lord;
To every blood-bought spirit,
Proclaim the sacred word. [Chorus]

5 And when the last loud trumpet
Shall welcome us to come,
We’ll bind our sheaves together
And shout the harvest home. [Chorus]

6 Let us blow the gospel trumpet,
We’ll blow the gospel trumpet,
Let us blow the gospel trumpet,
Till all the world shall hear. [Chorus]
