The Gospel Trumpet

Barney Elliott Warren • English

Primary Scripture: Joel 2:1

Verse 1

Blow the Gospel trumpet, brother, Over land and sea; Sound the news to all creation: Christ will set you free; Free and happy every moment, Tho’ by Satan bound; He is able, do not doubt Him, Let His grace abound.

Verse 2

Sing, and pray, and preach for Jesus Everywhere you go; Wake the slumbering sinful nations On the brink of woe; Tell them of that cleansing fountain Flowing deep and wide From Mount Calvary’s sacred summit, From His pierced side.

Verse 3

In the Spirit’s holy unction Preach the word of God, Till its melting power brings the Lost to Jesus’ blood; Compass every heathen nation Filled with sinful dearth; Scatter light and truth from Heaven Over all the earth.

Verse 4

Send the Gospel proclamation All around the globe, Freedom, freedom for the captive In his sinful robe; Search in every hidden corner For the honest ones; Use the time, and work for Jesus Till the judgment comes.
