Lyics

BLOW you the trumpet, blow

The gladly solemn sound!

Let all the nations know,

To earth's remotest bound,

The year of jubilee is come;

Return, you ransom'd sinners, home.



Extol the Lamb of God,

The sin-atoning Lamb:

Redemption by his blood

Through all the world proclaim:

The year of Jubilee is come;

Return, you ransom'd sinners, home.



Jesus, our great High Priest,

Propitiation made:

You weary spirits, rest,

You mournful souls, be glad:

The year of Jubilee is come:

Return, you ransom'd sinners, home.



You slaves of sin and hell,

Your liberty receive:

And safe in Jesus dwell,

And bless'd in Jesus live:

The year of Jubilee is come;

Return, you ransom'd sinners, home.



You bankrupt debtors, know

The wondrous grace of heav'n;

Though sums immense you owe,

A free discharge is giv'n:

The year of Jubilee is come;

Return, you ransom'd sinners, home.



You who have sold for naught

The heritage above,

Shall have it back unbought,

The gift of Jesus' love:

The year of Jubilee is come;

Return, you ransom'd sinners, home.



The gospel trumpet hear,

The news of heav'nly grace;

And, sav'd from earth, appear

Before your Saviour's face:

The year of Jubilee is come;

Return, you ransom'd sinners, home.
