Song for the Nation
 The Trumpet Sounds for Britain
The trumpet sounds for Britain
The trumpet sounds for you
Awake, awake Great Britain
Return to what is true
Return to when the Lion roared
And all heard of his fame
Return to when the nation knew
That love's Lamb has a Name
The trumpet sounds for Britain
Can’t you hear it blow?
Spirit and Bride both say, “Come!”
And the earth groans below
Don’t dwell on the past
God’s doing something new
Can you perceive it?
It’s springing up, it’s flowing through
The trumpet sounds for Britain
Blasting across this land
From earliest times through Alfred's day
Recognise God's hand
Protecting us, watching over
Throughout our history
Our heritage is bound in Christ
Take hold his victory
The trumpet sounds for Britain
Can’t you hear it blow?
Spirit and Bride both say, “Come!”
And the earth groans below
Don’t dwell on the past
God’s doing something new
Can you perceive it?
It’s springing up, it’s flowing through
 The trumpet sounds for Britain
But not for empire proud
But so we speak for Kingdom come
To the world aloud
Church - blow that trumpet
Of the Lord to each and all
To give their lives to Jesus
And heed the trumpet call
The trumpet sounds for Britain
Can’t you hear it blow?
Spirit and Bride both say, “Come!”
And the earth groans below
Don’t dwell on the past
God’s doing something new
Can you perceive it?
It’s springing up, it’s flowing through
Conceive, conceive
Believe, believe
Perceive, perceive
Receive, receive
The trumpet sounds for Britain
Rise up, your light us here
Rise up and bless the nations wide
Deliver them from fear
The trumpet sounds for Britain
The ancient ruins rebuild
Remove the stones, re-dig the wells
The ancient vision fulfilled
The trumpet sounds for Britain
Can’t you hear it blow?
Spirit and Bride both say, “Come!”
And the earth groans below
Don’t dwell on the past
God’s doing something new
Can you perceive it?
It’s springing up, it’s flowing through
