LyicsBlow ye the trumpet, blow
The gladly solemn sound!
Let all the nations know,
To earth's remotest bound,
The year of jubilee is come!
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.
Exalt the Lamb of God,
The sin-atoning Lamb;
Redemption by his blood,
Thro' all the earth proclaim:
The year of jubilee is come,
Return ye ransomed sinners, home.
Ye, who have sold for nought,
The heritage above,
May have it back, unbought,
The gift of Jesus' love:
The year of jubilee is come,
Return ye ransomed sinners, home.
Ye slaves to sin and hell,
Your liberty receive;
And safe in Jesus dwell,
And blest in Jesus, live;
The year of jubilee is come,
Return ye ransomed sinners, home.
The gospel trumpet hear,
The news of pardoning grace;
Ye happy souls draw near,
Behold your Saviour's face;
The year of jubilee is come,
Return ye ransomed sinners, home.
Jesus, our great high priest,
Has full atonement made;
Ye weary spirits rest,
Ye mournful souls be glad;
The year of jubilee is come,
Return ye ransomed sinners, home.
