326. The Glad Tidings

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]

Chorus:
Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing;
Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King.

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]

Chorus:
Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing;
Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King.

3 Mortals, your homage be gratefully bringing,
And sweet let the gladsome hosanna arise:
Ye angels, the full hallelujah be singing;
One chorus resound through the earth and the skies. [Chorus]
