#368Watchman, Blow the Gospel Trumpet

Tune: WATCHMAN
Meter: 7.6.7.6.D
1
Watchman, blow the gospel trumpet, every soul a warning give; Whosoever hears the message may repent, and turn and live.
2
Sound it loud o'er every hill-top, 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, sweetly saying, 'Come to me.'
4
Sound it for the heavy-laden, weary, longing to be free; Sound a Savior's invitation, sweetly saying, 'Come to me.'
C

Chorus

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