E132. Blow Ye the Trumpet!

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,
The year of Jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

2 Exalt the Lamb of God,
The sin-atoning Lamb;
Redemption by His blood
Thro' all the lands proclaim:
The year of Jubilee is come,
The year of Jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

3 The gospel trumpet hear,
The news of pard'ning grace;
Ye happy souls, draw near,
Behold your Saviour's face;
The year of Jubilee is come,
The year of Jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

4 Jesus, our great High Priest,
Has full atonement made;
Ye weary spirits, rest;
Ye mournful souls, be glad!
The year of Jubilee is come,
The year of Jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.
