Tune: | ['Tis a message sweet that all the world should hear] |
Composer: | John J. Thomas |
1 ‘Tis a message sweet that all the world should hear,
‘Tis the news of Christ the King!
To the hearts o men, a story ever dear,
Hope and gladness it will bring.
Refrain:
Wonderful news of a Saviour’s love!
Wonderful news of a home above!
Tell the tidings dear that the world may hear,
And all hearts with joy shall sing;
Wonderful news for each land and clime!
Wonderful news with a pow’r sublime!
All should hear,
Nears so dear,
‘Tis the news of Christ the King!
2 Send the news of joy till ev’ry land shall know,
Of the One who comes to save;
Tell it o’er and o’er, in beauty it will grow
As it sounds across the wave. [Refrain]
3 Tell the news to hearts that need its blessed cheer,
And to those who long for light;
For the tidings sweet will gladden all who hear
As the shadows take their flight. [Refrain]
