Melodies of Salvation ‎#120

120. The Gospel Trump is Sounding

1 The gospel trump is sounding
The year of jubilee,
And grace is all abounding,
To set the bondman free.

Chorus:
Return, ye captives,
Return unto your home,
The gospel trump is sounding,
The jubilee is come.

2 Forsake your wretched service,
Your Master's claims are o'er;
Avail yourselves of freedom,
Be Satan's slaves no more. [Chorus]

3 A better Master's calling,
In accents true and kind;
He asks a loving service,
And claims a willing mind. [Chorus]

4 He offers you salvation,
And points to joys above;
And, longing, waits to make you
The objects of his love. [Chorus]

5 In living faith accept Him,
Give up all else beside;
While grace is loudly calling,
Look to the crucified. [Chorus]
