| Text: | The "Good News" Must be Told |
| Author: | Rev. Elisha A. Hoffman, 1839-1929 |
| Tune: | [The story of redeeming love] |
| Composer: | Rev. Elisha A. Hoffman, 1839-1929 |
1 The story of redeeming love
More precious is than gold,
And on thro’ all the years of time
The “good news” must be told.
Refrain:
That sweet, old story must be told,
The Gospel story must be told,
The story strange and true,
So old and ever new,
The sweet, old story must be told.
2 It is a story strangely sweet,
That never groweth old,
And to the aged and the young
The “good news” must be told. [Refrain]
3 O yes! our lips must honor Him,
His love must be extolled,
His grace to men must be made known,
The “good news” must be told. [Refrain]
4 To those who long for heav’nly peace,
To wand’rers from the fold,
To all who thirst for righteousness
The “good news” must be told. [Refrain]
