The jubilee trumpet.
 
BLOW ye the trumpet, blow 
  
The gladly-solemn sound; 
  
Let all the nations know, 
  
To earth’s remotest bound, 
  
The year of jubilee is come; 
  
Return, ye ransom’d sinners, home. 
2 Jesus, our great High Priest, 
  
Hath full atonement made: 
  
Ye weary spirits, rest; 
  
Ye mournful souls, be glad: 
  
The year of jubilee is come; 
  
Return, ye ransom’d sinners, home. 
3 Extol the Lamb of God,—
  
The all-atoning Lamb; 
  
Redemption in his blood 
  
Throughout the world proclaim: 
  
The year of jubilee is come; 
  
Return, ye ransom’d sinners, home. 
4 Ye slaves of sin and hell, 
  
Your liberty receive, 
  
And safe in Jesus dwell, 
  
And blest in Jesus live: 
  
The year of jubilee is come; 
  
Return, ye ransom’d sinners, home. 
5 Ye Who have sold for naught
  
Your heritage above, 
  
Shall have it back unbought, 
  
The gift of Jesus’ love: 
  
The year of jubilee is come; 
  
Return, ye ransom’d sinners, home. 
6 The gospel trumpet hear,—
  
The news of heavenly grace; 
  
And, saved from earth, appear 
  
Before your Saviour’s face:
   
The year of jubilee is come;
   
Return, ye ransom’d sinners, home. 
                  Charles Wesley
