Song 189

Proclaiming Jehovah’s Day of Vengeance

(Isaiah 61:2)

1. The trumpets now are sounding;

The call is loud and clear.

Jehovah’s day of vengeance

Is drawing ever near.

We tell it out with boldness,

Though men may frown and scorn.

The warning must be given;

God’s Kingdom has been born.

2. The battle is Jehovah’s.

His Son directs the fight.

Victorious is the finish,

Exalting truth and right.

All strategy of Satan

Will surely come to naught.

To carry out our warfare,

Our hands by God are taught.

3. God’s watchmen must give warning.

As one, they raise their voice.

Each stands in his position

According to God’s choice.

Jehovah times all matters;

The time is getting short

For us to preach God’s Kingdom

And make a good report.
