369. 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,
The year of Jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

2 Exalt the Son of God,
The all-atoning Lamb,
Redemption in His blood
Throughout the world proclaim:
The year of Jubilee is come,
The year of Jubilee is come;
Return ye ransomed 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,
The year of Jubilee is come;
Return ye ransomed 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,
The year of Jubilee is come;
Return ye ransomed sinners home.

Amen.
