Blow Ye the Trumpet, Blow

1.	Blow ye the trumpet, blow! 
	The gladly solemn sound 
	let all the nations know, 
	to earth's remotest bound: 
	The year of jubilee is come! 
	The year of jubilee is come! 
	Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

2.	Jesus, our great high priest, 
	hath full atonement made; 
	ye weary spirits, rest; 
	ye mournful souls, be glad:
	The year of jubilee is come! 
	The year of jubilee is come! 
	Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

3.	Extol the Lamb of God, 
	the all atoning Lamb; 
	redemption in his blood 
	throughout the world proclaim:
	The year of jubilee is come! 
	The year of jubilee is come! 
	Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

4.	Ye slaves of sin and hell, 
	your liberty receive, 
	and safe in Jesus dwell, 
	and blest in Jesus' live: 
	The year of jubilee is come! 
	The year of jubilee is come! 
	Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

5.	Ye who have sold for nought 
	your heritage above 
	shall have it back unbought, 
	the gift of Jesus' love: 
	The year of jubilee is come! 
	The year of jubilee is come! 
	Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

6.	The gospel trumpet hear, 
	the news of heavenly grace; 
	and saved from earth, appear 
	before your Savior's face: 
	The year of jubilee is come! 
	The year of jubilee is come! 
	Return to your eternal home.
