LyicsBLOW 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.
