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 hill-top, 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, sweetly saying, 'Come to me.'

4Sound it for the heavy-laden, weary, longing to be free;
Sound a Savior's invitation, sweetly saying, 'Come to me.'
