Text: | Blow ye the trumpet, blow |
Tune: | LENOX |
Composer: | Edson |
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 ransom'd sinners, home.
2 Exalt the Lamb of God,
The sin-atoning Lamb,
Redemption by his blood
Through all the lands proclaim;
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.
3 The gospel trumpet hear,
The news of pardoning grace;
Ye happy souls, draw near,
Behold your Saviour's face
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransom'd 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;
Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.
