Representative Text

1 Christ is making sinners free,
Full salvation giving,
Whosoever will may come,
None He will refuse;
Therefore, that the lost may know,
And with Christ believing,
All the way, every day,
Tell and sing the news.

Refrain:
Tell it, sing it, let the breezes wing it,
Helping sinners Christ the Lord to choose;
Tell it, sing it, let your joy-bells ring it,
O’er and o’er, evermore,
Tell and sing the news.

2 All transgressions from the past
He is freely hiding,
And is giving songs of joy
To the sad and lone;
Millions in His presence now
Safely are abiding;
Tell it out, sing it out,
Make His mercy known. [Refrain]

3 All may have eternal life,
If they will believe Him;
All may wear the robe and crown
In the world above;
He will surely richly bless
All who will receive Him;
Shout the news, preach the news,
Praise His mighty love. [Refrain]
