The Trumpet Sounds

Verse 1

O conq’ring host, your leader calls, On list’ning ears the message falls; The hour is ripe and grace abounds, Go forward now, the trumpet sounds.

Chorus

The trumpet sounds, The call rings out, Lift up with joy, the triumph shout, The trumpet sounds, It summons you In Jesus’ name to dare and do.

Verse 2

The ranks of evil gather fast, This golden day will soon be past; Let not your faith and hope grow dim, O loyal souls, be strong in Him.

Verse 3

Oh, ne’er before as in this day Were such opposers in array; But God is near to help and guide, Stand on the Lord Jehovah’s side.

Verse 4

His bugles never sound retreat, Go forth in faith your God to meet; When life is o’er and vict’ry won, You then shall hear your Lord’s “Well done.”
