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

Refrain

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

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

Refrain

Sound 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.

Refrain

Sound it for the heavy laden,
Weary, longing to be free;
Sound a Savior�s invitation,
Sweetly saying, �Come to Me.�

Refrain
