79. Send the Happy Tidings

1 Send the happy tidings flying
Over land and rolling sea;
Nations all must hear the story
Of redemption, full and free.

Chorus:
Send the tidings, let them fly,
God to man is drawing nigh;
Send the tidings with acclaim,
All the world shall praise his name.

2 News, good news to high and lowly,
Let the harps of gladness ring;
Tell of Christy, the mighty Savior,
Christ, the living, reigning King. [Chorus]

3 Send the happy tidings flying
Till in endless streams they flow
Onward, like a mighty river,
Bringing peace, goodwill below. [Chorus]
