Every soul a warning give;
Whosoever hears the message
May repent, and, turn and live.
Refrain
Blow the trumpet, trusty watchman,
Blow it loud o’er land and sea;
God commissions, sound the message!
Every captive may be free.
2 Sound it loud oér every hilltop,
Gloomy shade and sunny plain;
Ocean depths repeat the message,
Full salvation’s glad refrain. [Refrain]
3 Sound it in the hedge and highway,
Earth’s dark spots where exiles roam;
Let it tell all things are ready,
Father waits to welcome home. [Refrain]
4 Sound it for the heavy laden,
Weary, longing to be free;
Sound a Savior’s invitation,
Sweetly saying, “Come to me.” [Refrain] Topics: Christian Church Mission of the Church Tune Title: [Watchman, blow the gospel trumpet, Every soul a warning give]
