Author: W. A. Muhlenberg Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #200 (1913) Meter: 11.11.12.11 First Line: Zion, the marvelous story be telling Lyrics: Refrain:
Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing;
Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King!
1 Zion, the marvelous 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: [Refrain]
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,
How His people with joy everlasting are crowned: [Refrain]
3 Mortals, your homage be gratefully bringing,
And sweet let the gladsome Hosanna arise:
Ye angels, the full Hallelujah be singing;
One chorus resound through the earth and the skies. [Refrain] Topics: The Church Year Christmas; The Church Year Christmas Tune Title: [Zion, the marvelous story be telling]
Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing
