Author: W. A. Muhlenberg Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #53 (1898) Meter: Irregular First Line: Sion, the marvellous story be telling Lyrics: Chorus:
Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing;
Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King.
1 Sion, the marvellous 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. [Chorus]
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: [Chorus]
3 Mortals, your homage be greatfully bringing,
And sweet let the gladsome hosanna arise:
Ye angels, the full alleluia be singing;
One chorus resound through the earth and the skies: [Chorus
Amen.
