The Minstrel of Zion ‎#120

120. "Shout the glad tidings"

1 Zion! the marvellous 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:
Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing,
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,
His people with joy everlasting are crown'd. [Chorus]

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