1. Watchman Blow The Gospel Trumpet.

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

*CHORUS
Blow the trumpet, trusty watchman,
Blow it loud o’er land and sea…….
(loud o’er land and sea)
God commissions, sound the message!
Ev’ry captive may be free. *

Sound it loud o’er ev’ry hilltop,
Gloomy shade, and sunny plain;
Ocean depths repeat the message,
full salvation’s glad refrain.

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

Sound it for the heavy laden,
Weary, longing to be free.
Sound a Saviour’s invitation,
Sweetly saying, “Come to me”.
