LyicsYe trembling captives! hear;
The gospel-trumpet sounds;
No music more can charm the ear,
Or help your hert-felt woulds.
'T is not the trump of war,
Nor Sinai's awful roar;
Salvation's news it spreads afar,
And vengeance is no more.
Forgiveness, love, and peace,
Glad heaven aloud proclaims;
And earth, the jubilee's release,
With eager rapture claims.
Far, far to distant lands
The saving news shall spread;
And Jesus all his willing bands
In glorious triumph lead.
