1. Christ is your Redeemer,
He descended from the throne,
Shout the glorious tidings,
swell the strains of gladness;
Lived a life of poverty
to claim you for His own:
Shout the glorious tidings to the world.

Refrain
Sing with exultation, catch the inspiration,
Let the joyful banners be unfurled;
Shout the glorious tidings, swell the notes of rapture,
Shout the glorious tidings to the world.

2. Christ has opened wide the door
that all may enter in;
Shout the glorious tidings,
swell the strains of gladness;
On the cross He shed His blood
to ransom you from sin;
Shout the glorious tidings to the world. [Refrain]

3. Have you found the Savior,
are you striving to be true?
Shout the glorious tidings,
swell the strains of gladness;
Go and tell to others what
His love has done for you:
Shout the glorious tidings to the world. [Refrain]
