Blow Ye the Trumpet, Blow

lyricist: Charles Wesley, 1750
Composer: Lewis Edson, ca. 1782

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.

Jesus

our great high priest

Hath full atone­ment made

Ye weary spir­its

rest;

Ye mourn­ful souls

be glad:

Extol the Lamb of God

The all-aton­ing Lamb;

Redemption by His blood

Throughout the world pro­claim:

Ye slaves of sin and hell

Your li­ber­ty re­ceive

And safe in Je­sus dwell

And blest in Je­sus live:

Ye who have sold for naught

Your her­it­age ab­ove

Shall have it back un­bought

The gift of Je­sus’ love:

The Gos­pel trum­pet hear

The news of heav’n­ly grace;

And saved from earth

ap­pear

Before your Sav­ior’s face:
