1. Blessèd news from Heav’n above,
Send it forth on wings of love,
O’er the mighty ocean wave,
Jesus died, the lost to save.

Refrain
Whosoever will believe,
Shall eternal life receive;
Sound the Gospel call,
There is room for all.
Whosoever will believe,
Shall eternal life receive;
Sound the Gospel call:
There is room for all.

2. Blessèd news, O let it roll,
Quickly on to ev’ry soul,
Over land and over sea,
To the world redemption free. [Refrain]

3. Blessèd news for those that stray,
On the mountain far away,
Lo, the tender Shepherd’s voice,
Bids them now in Him rejoice. [Refrain]

4. Blessèd news for souls oppressed,
Come to Jesus, come and rest;
Turn to Him and He’ll forgive,
To the Cross, O look and live. [Refrain]
