Blow ye the trumpet blow,
The gladly solemn sound;
Let all the nations know,
To earth’s remotest bound,
Chorus:
The year of Jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.
Extol the Lamb of God,
The all-atoning Lamb;
Redemption through his blood
Throughout the world proclaim.
(Chorus)
The Gospel trumpet hear,
The news of heav’nly grace;
And saved from earth appear
Before your Savior’s face.
(Chorus)

Throughout the world proclaim.
