Joyful Sound ‎#163

163. Blow ye the Trumpet

1 Blow ye the trumpet, blow;
The gladly solemn sound
Let all the nations know,
To earth’s remotest bound;

Refrain:
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home,
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

2 Jesus, our great High Priest;
Hath full atonement made,
Ye weary spirits, rest;
Ye mournful souls, be glad; [Refrain]

3 Extol the Lamb of God,
The all-atoning Lamb;
Redemption in his blood
Throughout the world proclaim. [Refrain]

4 Ye slaves of sin and hell,
Your liberty receive,
And safe in Jesus dwell,
And blest in Jesus live. [Refrain]

5 Ye who have sold for naught
Your heritage above,
Shall have it back unbought,
The gift of Jesus’ love. [Refrain]

6 The Gospel trumpet hear,
The news of heavenly grace;
And saved from earth, appear
Before your Saviour’s face: [Refrain]
