71. Tidings of salvation

1 Sweet the tidings of salvation,
Hear, hear the sound,
Spread abroad the invitation,
Hear, hear the sound.

Refrain:
Raise a shout of acclamation,
Cry aloud this great salvation,
Bear the news to ev'ry nation,
Hear, hear the sound.

2 Tell the gospel's joyful story,
Hear, hear the sound,
Publish Jesus and His glory,
Hear, hear the sound. [Refrain]

3 Preach a free and full salvation,
Hear, hear the sound,
Blessed is the proclamation,
Hear, hear the sound. [Refrain]
