The Gospel Trumpet (Warren)

lyricist: Barney Warren, 1900
Composer: Clarence Hunter

Blow the Gos­pel trum­pet

bro­ther

Over land and sea;

Sound the news to all cre­ation:

Christ will set you free;

Free and hap­py ev­ery mo­ment

Tho’ by Sa­tan bound;

He is able

do not doubt Him

Let His grace abound.

Sing

and pray

and preach for Je­sus

Everywhere you go;

Wake the slum­ber­ing sin­ful na­tions

On the brink of woe;

Tell them of that cleans­ing fount­ain

Flowing deep and wide

From Mount Cal­va­ry’s sac­red sum­mit

From His pierc­èd side.

In the Spir­it’s ho­ly unc­tion

Preach the word of God

Till its melt­ing pow­er brings the

Lost to Je­sus’ blood;

Compass ev­ery hea­then na­tion

Filled with sin­ful dearth;

Scatter light and truth from Heav­en

Over all the earth.

Send the Gos­pel pro­cla­ma­tion

All around the globe

Freedom

free­dom for the cap­tive

In his sin­ful robe;

Search in ev­ery hid­den cor­ner

For the hon­est ones;

Use the time

and work for Je­sus

Till the judg­ment comes.
