40 Blow ye the trumpet

p. 40

Tune: Lenox, Lewis Edson, 1782

Text: Charles Wesley, 1750

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.

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.

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.
