Sound the Trumpet (Burr)

Sound the trum­pet loud and long

The tem­ple gates fling wide

Lo! He comes

the Great

the Strong

In Zi­on to ab­ide.

Not as in the for­mer days

A man of sor­rows He;

Nations join to give Him praise

And bow th’ad­or­ing knee.

Blow the trum­pet’s joy­ful blast

Return

ye wan­der­ers

home;

Your op­press­or’s pow­er is past

The Ju­bi­lee is come:

David’s Son and Lord shall reign

His throne se­cure shall be;

Speed the news o’er land and main

His peo­ple all are free.

Blow the trum­pet

shout and sing

Let all the vales re­joice;

Let the hills and mount­ains ring

And ut­ter forth their voice:

Zion’s bul­warks firm­ly stand

Her walls in beau­ty shine;

Strong her great De­liv­er­er’s hand

His ma­jes­ty di­vine.
