Blow Ye the Trumpet, Blow!

No. 77
(LENOX. 6.6.6.6 with refrain)
1.

Blow ye the trumpet, blow!
The gladly solemn sound
let all the nations know,
to earth's remotest bound;

Refrain:
The year of jubilee is come;
return, ye ransomed sinners, home;
return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

2.

Jesus, our great High Priest,
has full atonement made;
ye weary spirits, rest;
ye mournful souls, be glad:

Refrain:
The year of jubilee is come;
return, ye ransomed sinners, home;
return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

3.

Extol the Lamb of God;
the sacrificial Lamb;
redemption through his blood
throughout the world proclaim:

Refrain:
The year of jubilee is come;
return, ye ransomed sinners, home;
return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

4.

Ye slaves of sin and hell,
your liberty receive;
and safe in Jesus dwell,
and blest in Jesus live:

Refrain:
The year of jubilee is come;
return, ye ransomed sinners, home;
return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

5.

Ye who have sold for naught
your heritage above,
receive it back unbought,
the gift of Jesus' love:

Refrain:
The year of jubilee is come;
return, ye ransomed sinners, home;
return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

6.

The gospel trumpet hear,
the news of heav'nly grace;
and, saved from earth, appear
before your Savior's face:

Refrain:
The year of jubilee is come;
return, ye ransomed sinners, home;
return, ye ransomed sinners, home.
