Author: Francis Bottome, 1823-1894; Lloyd O. Sanderson, 1901-1992 Hymnal: Sacred Songs of the Church #534 (2007) First Line: O spread the tidings 'round, wherever man is found Lyrics: 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.
Refrain:
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, the great King of kings, with healing in His wings,
To ev'ry captive soul a full deliv'rance brings;
And thro' the vacant cells the song of triumph rings;
Our Lord is King of kings. [Refrain]
3 O boundless love divine! how shall this tongue of mine
To wond'ring mortals tell the matchless grace divine -
That I, in earth's decline should in His image shine!
In Him, the Word of heav'n. [Refrain] Tune Title: [O spread the tidings 'round, wherever man is found]
O Spread the Tidings 'Round
