Text:The trumpet of God is sounding abroad

XXII. The trumpet of God is sounding abroad

1 The trumpet of God is sounding abroad;
The language of mercy, salvation thro' blood,

2 Thrice happy are they who hear and obey,
And share in the blessing of this gospel-day.

3 Their anguish and smart, and sorrow depart,
Who find this salvation inscrib'd on their heart.

4 True pleasures abound in the rapturous sound,
And they that have found it have paradise found.

5 Our Jesus to know, and feel his blood flow,
'Tis life everlasting, 'Tis heaven below!

6 This blessing be mine thro' favor divine;
But, O my redeemer! the glory be thine.
