Hymn 523

1LIFT the voice and sound the trumpet,
Let the clarion notes resound ;
Roll the clarion notes around them ;
Shout, as fleets the passing hour ;
Lift the voice in words of warning ;
Wake the slumbering sinner's power ;
Cry aloud, Behold the dawning ;
Rooms, and greet the morning's hour !

2Lift the voice !—Lo, weak and dying,
Warriors struggling, faint and fall,
told them light ! to God replying ;
Jesus comes to conquer all.
Lift the voice in notes of gladness ;
Ring the shout along the sky ;
Cease your tears, ye sons of sadness ;
Sing ! rejoice ! your God is nigh.

3Lift the voice like music blended
With heart-healing minstrelsy ;
Cry, thy warfare now is ended ;
Lo, thy Saviour comes to thee !
See ! the kingdom of the blessed,
Watchman, ye shall joyful sing ;
Eye to eye shall see with gladness,
When the Lord shall Zion bring.
