1 Shout the tidings of salvation,
To the aged and the young;
Till the precious invitation
Waken ev'ry heart and tongue.

Chorus:
Send the sound the earth around,
From the rising to the setting of the sun,
Till each gath'ring crowd,
Shall proclaim aloud,
The glorious work is done.

2 Shout the tidings of salvation,
O'er the prairies of the west;
Till each gath'ring congregation
With the gospel sound is blest. [Chorus]

3 Shout the tidings of salvation,
Mingling with the ocean's roar;
Till the ships of every nation,
Bear the news from shore to shore. [Chorus]

4 Shout the tidings of salvation,
O'er the islands of the sea;
Till, in humble adoration,
All to Christ shall bow the knee. [Chorus]
