16592. Message Of The King

1 Tell the Gos­pel sto­ry ev­ery­where you go;
Bear its light and glo­ry to the haunts of woe;
Hearts will give it wel­come, life and joy ’twill bring,
Story of sal­va­tion, mes­sage of the King.

Refrain:
Ever bless­ed sto­ry, tell it o’er and o’er,
Till its words of glo­ry sound from shore to shore;
Thro’ the whole cre­ation let the tid­ings ring,
Story of sal­va­tion, mes­sage of the King.

2 Tell the pre­cious sto­ry, till all strife shall cease,
Bright with hope and glo­ry may its pow­er in­crease;
Souls that dwell in bond­age hear the news you bring,
Story of re­demp­tion, mes­sage of the King. [Refrain]

3 Tell the tender st­ory—sin and grief ab­ound;
Point to realms of glo­ry souls in dark­ness found;
One has come from Heav­en end­less life to bring,
Story of the Savi­or, mes­sage of the King. [Refrain]
