Blow
ye
the
trumpet
blow,
The
gladly
solemn
sound;
Let
all
the
nations
know,
To
earth's
remotest
bound,
2
Extol
the
Lamb
of
God,
The
all
atoning
Lamb;
Redemption
through
His
blood
Throughout
the
world
proclaim;
3
The
Gospel
trumpet
hear,
The
news
of
heavenly
grace;
And
saved
from
earth,
appear
before
your
Savior's
face;
The
year
of
jubilee
is
come;
The
year
of
jubilee
is
come;
The
year
of
jubilee
is
come;
Return,
ye
ransomed
sin
-
ners,
home.

years
old
at
that
time.
