1. 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 comissions, sound the message! Every captive maybe free. 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.'
