Author: | William A. Muhlenberg |
Tune: | AVISON |
Composer: | Charles Avison |
Chorus:
Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing;
Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King.
1 Zion, the marvelous story be telling,
The Son of the Highest, how lowly His birth;
The brightest archangel in glory excelling,
He stoops to redeem thee, He reigns upon earth: [Chorus]
2 Tell how He cometh; from nation to nation,
The heart-cheering news let the earth echo round;
How free to the faithful He offers salvation!
How His people with joy everlasting are crowned! [Chorus]
3 Mortals, your homage be gratefully bringing,
And sweet let the gladsome hosanna arise;
Ye angels, the full hallelujah be singing;
One chorus resounds through the earth and the skies.
Shout the glad tiding, exultingly sing;
Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King,
Messiah is King, Messiah is King.
Amen.
