The Sacred Harp ‎#40

40. Blow ye the trumpet, blow

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;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

2 Extol the Lamb of God,
The all-atoning Lamb;
Redemption through his blood
Throughout the world proclaim.
The year of Jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

3 The Gospel trumpet hear,
The news of heav’nly grace;
And saved from earth appear
Before your Savior’s face.
The year of Jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.
