17020. The Glad Good News

1. "With an ev­er­last­ing love," came the mes­sage from ab­ove,
"I have loved thee." God hath spok­en, tell the news.
Hearken, soul, un­to His voice, and for­ev­er­more re­joice
That His word can­not be brok­en, tell the news.

Refrain

Tell the news (Oh tell the news)
The glad good news (the glad good news),
Tell the news (Oh tell the news),
From shore to shore (from shore to shore);
At the door He waits for thee,
Love di­vine His on­ly plea,
Tell the news (Oh tell the news)
The glad good news.

2. Tho’ un­mind­ful we have been, and have wan­dered on in sin,
Still His voice is ev­er speak­ing, tell the news;
He, re­ject­ed o’er and o’er, still is wait­ing at the door,
And thy soul in mer­cy seeking, tell the news.

Refrain

3. Open now to Him your heart, lest for­ev­er He depart,
And ac­cept the gra­cious bless­ing, tell the news;
"With an ev­er­last­ing love," let us each the mes­sage prove,
And with joy His name con­fess­ing, tell the news.

Refrain
