795. O Spread the Tidings 'Round

1 O spread the tidings 'round, wherever man is found,
Wherever human hearts and human woes abound;
Let ev'ry Christian tongue proclaim the joyful sound:
Our Lord is Lord of lords.

Chorus:
Of lords, He is the Lord! Divine, the living Word!
His name, the sweetest heard; His will redemption brings;
O spread the tidings 'round, wherever man is found:
The Lord is King of kings.

2 Lo, Christ the King of kings, with healing in His wings,
To every captive soul a full deliv'rance brings;
And thro' the vacant cells the song of triumph rings;
Our Lord is King of kings. [Chorus]

3 O boundless love divine! How shall this tongue of mine
To wond'ring mortals tell the matchless grace divine-
That I with Him may dwell in His image shine!
In Him, the Word of heav'n. [Chorus]
