Hymn
The Jubilee
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.
Exalt the Lamb of God,
The sin-atoning Lamb;
Redemption by His blood
Thro' all the lands proclaim:
The year of Jubilee is come,
The year of Jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.
The gospel trumpet hear,
The news of pard'ning grace;
Ye happy souls, draw near,
Behold your Saviour's face;
The year of Jubilee is come,
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,
The year of Jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.
