Lyrics

Blow ye the trum­pet, all ye Zi­on’s host,
Sound the alarm o’er ev­ery hill and plain,
Till all na­tions the warn­ing mes­sage shall have heard
That Jesus is com­ing again!

Refrain

He’s com­ing again, O Zi­on’s glo­ri­ous king!
He’s com­ing to reign, and re­ward for our la­bor He’ll bring.

Send out the mes­sage ov­er land and sea,
Let all the earth take up the glad re­frain;
Soon His glo­ry trans­cend­ent ev­ery eye shall see,
When Je­sus to earth comes again.

Refrain

O then pre­pare to meet the com­ing King!
Washed in His blood, with gar­ments pure and white,
For a crown of re­joic­ing He will with Him bring,
For all who have fought the good fight.

Refrain
