“The great trumpet shall be blown.” Isa. 27. 13

1 Hark! how the gospel trumpet sounds!
  Christ and free grace therein abounds;
  Free grace to such as sinners be;
  And if free grace, why not for me?

2 The Saviour died, and by his blood
  Brought rebel sinners near to God;
  He died to set the captives free;
  And why, my soul, why not for thee?

3 The blood of Christ, how sweet it sounds,
  To cleanse and heal the sinner’s wounds!
  The streams thereof are rich and free;
  And why, my soul, why not for thee?

4 Thus Jesus came the poor to bless,
  To clothe them with his righteousness;
  The robe is spotless, full, and free;
  And why, my soul, why not for thee?

5 Eternal life by Christ is given,
  And ruined rebels raised to heaven,
  Then sing of grace so rich and free,
  And say, my soul, why not for thee?
