Watchman, Blow the Gospel Trumpet

1Watchman, blow the gospel trumpet,
Every soul a warning give;
Whosoever hears the message May repent, and turn and live.

RefrainBlow the trumpet, trusty watchman,
Blow it loud o'er land and sea;
God commissions, sound the message!
Every captive may be free.

2Sound it loud o'er every hilltop,
Gloomy shade and sunny plain;
Ocean depths repeat the message,
Full salvation's glad refrain.

3Sound 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.

4Sound it for the heavy laden,
Weary, longing to be free;
Sound a Saviour's invitation,
Sweetly saying,
Come to me.
