MISSION OF THE CHURCH |
8.7.8.7.Ref. |
|
Blow the trumpet, trusty watchman,
Blow it loud o'er land and sea; (loud o'er land and sea;) God commissions, sound the message! Every captive may be free.
Watchman, blow the gospel trumpet,
Every soul a warning give; Whosoever hears the message May repent, and, turn and live.
Sound it loud o'er every 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 spots 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 Savior's invitation, Sweetly saying, "Come to me."
