368- Watchman, Blow the Gospel Trumpet

Christian Church: Mission of the Church

1

  • Watchman, blow the gospel trumpet,
  • Every soul a warning give;
  • Whosoever hears the message
  • May repent, and turn and live.

Refrain

  • Blow the trumpet, trusty watchman,
  • Blow it loud o'er land and sea;
  • God commissions, sound the message!
  • Every captive may be free.

2

  • Sound it loud o'er every hilltop,
  • Gloomy shade and sunny plain;
  • Ocean depths repeat the message,
  • Full salvation's glad refrain.

3

  • Sound it in the hedge and highway,
  • Earth's dark spots where exiles roam;
  • Let it tell all things are ready,
  • Father waits to welcome home.

4

  • Sound it for the heavy laden,
  • Weary, longing to be free;
  • Sound a Savior's invitation,
  • Sweetly saying, "Come to me."
