The Trumpet Blasts

 

The trumpet blasts!

Listen one and all!

Bend your ear

to its cry and call.

 

What is that but an invitation!

For two trumpets do sound!

Waste no time, the direction is vital!

So let us quickly gather around.

All around the earth united

In big groups as well as small.

We benefit from such assemblies

Whether traveling near or far, 

or on a streaming zoom call. 

 

One trumpet is heard

Loud throughout the land!

A special training for chieftains

To care for the sheep at hand.

 

Our dear Shepherds

are lovingly taught and directed,

how to care for the flock

under their watch and protection.

 

There is the trumpet again!

This time in a changing rise and fall!

It is time for moving, uprooting,

And for trusting in the call!

 

Ah, but changes can be difficult

With mixed feelings we may hesitate,

But adjustments come with blessings

And we thrive when we respond in faith.

 

The trumpet blasts!

Listen one and all!

Bend your heart

to respond to Jehovah’s call!
