The Gospel Trumpet (Crosby)

Sound the Gos­pel trum­pet forth

Sound it loud and long;

Come be­fore the King of kings

With a joy­ful song;

Lo

the glo­ri­ous morn­ing star

Shines with ra­di­ant splen­dor bright

Bids the na­tions from afar

Hail its wel­come light.

Great is He

the migh­ty Lord

Countless ag­es are His own;

Sing the tri­umphs of His word

He is God alone.

Sound the Gos­pel trum­pet forth

Lift our stand­ard high;

Let the sto­ry of the cross

Like an ar­row fly;

Blessèd sto­ry

won­drous love!

We are ran­somed from the fall;

He

who left His throne ab­ove

Gave His life for all.

Sound the Gos­pel trum­pet forth

Shout sal­va­tion free

Till the truth o’er­spread the earth

Like a migh­ty sea;

All shall bow at Je­sus’ name

Every tongue His pow­er con­fess

Him their sov­er­eign Lord pro­claim

Him their right­eous­ness.
