Lyrics 1 The gospel trumpet sounds, Let those that hear obey; A King prepares a royal feast For hungry souls today. A King who sits enthron’d, Where saints adoring stand, And multitudes of angels wait On His divine command. 2 The gospel trumpet sounds In thrilling tones sublime; The message of redeeming love To earth’s remotest clime. From yonder rifted Rock, Salvation’s river flows; O come, and take the heav’nly gift Our glorious King bestows. 3 He sends His heralds forth, And bids them in His name, The rich provision of His grace To each and all proclaim. Again the trumpet sounds; ‘Tis calling, calling still, The feast is spread, and yet there’s room, “Come, whosoever will.”
