Blow ye the trum-pet blow
"Then have the trumpet sounded Lev. 25:9
Blow ye the trum-pet blow!
The glad-ly so-lemn sound,
Let all the nations know,
To earth remotest bound.
The year of Jubilee is come
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home
Praise ye the Christ, our Lord,
Our saviour Lord and king,
Proclaim on earth below,
His death and His suffering
The year of Jubilee is come
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.
We had our portion sold
And thus resort to loss,
But by God's grace and love;
Jesus redeemed by love
The year of Jubilee is come
Return, ye ransomed sinners home
Let those in bondage come
Be freed from fear and death
And share in peace of God
With their saviour and Lord.
The year of Jubilee is come
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.
The gospel trumpet hear,
The news of heavenly grace
And saved from earth appear
Before your saviour's face.
The year of Jubilee is come
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home
Jesus, our great High priest,
Hath full atonement made
Ye weary spirits rest
Ye mournful souls be glad.
The year of Jubilee is come
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home
