Hear the Good News

Representative Text

1 Brother, you may go to glory,
Hear the good news;
Brother, you may go to glory,
Hear the good news.

Refrain:
You may lay down this world
And take up the cross,
And go with us to glory,
Hear the good news.

2 All your sins may be forgiven.

3 Sinners now are finding Jesus.

4 He will save and sanctify you.

5 He is building us a mansion.

6 Jesus tasted death for sinners.

7 He will welcome all who trust Him.

8 You may join the blood-washed army.

9 Now’s the time for peace and pardon.

10 Come, O come, He waits to save you.

11 Soon my Savior will be coming.
