368 – Watchman, Blow the Gospel Trumpet

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 or 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.”
