Watchman, blow the gospel trumpet,
Every
soul a warning give
Whosoever
hears the message
May
repent, and turn and live.
Refrain
2
Sound
it loud o’er every hilltop,
Gloomy
shade and sunny plain;
Ocean
depths repeat the message,
Full
salvation’s glad refrain.
3
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
4
Sound
it for the heavy laden,
Weary,
longing to be free;
Sound
a Saviour's invitation,
Sweetly
saying, “Come to me.”
