Oh, Trumpet of Jesus

Oh, Trumpet of Jesus

 

Oh trumpet of Jesus we would hear your song

With rapture you'll seize us before very long.

Oh trumpet of Jesus come call forth your bride

So Jesus come soon, we'll dance to your tune

And fly to your side!

 

Oh trumpet of Jesus, we would hear you blow.

We long for your music, we're longing to go!

When we hear that trumpet, ah, we won't be surprised,

So come quickly Lord, let us hear that chord

From the eastern skies!

 

I want to be ready, I want to be right

My walk will be steady and I'll set my sights

Upon the horizon, I'll feel my hear burn

In anticipation

Of Jesus' return.

 

And now I'm a stranger and alien on earth

I'll pray through the danger for all that I'm worth.

I pray that he'll use me right now and right here

I'll pray that he'll use me

And He won't refuse me

When He shall appear.

 

Oh trumpet of Jesus we would hear your call.

Our hearts full of rapture

As on our knees we fall.

Oh trumpet of Jesus we would hear your sound

And we'll meet you there

Right up in the air

As You're coming down

 

Oh trumpet now play and take us away

To heaven we're bound!
