to tell to all the world that God is light;
that he who made all nations is not willing
one soul should fail to know his will and might.
Refrain:
Publish glad tidings; tidings of peace,
tidings of Jesus, redemption and release.
2 Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation
that God, in whom they live and move, is love;
tell how he stooped to save his lost creation
and died on earth that they might live above. [Refrain]
3 Send heralds forth to bear the message glorious;
give of thy wealth to speed them on their way;
pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious
till God shall bring his kingdom's joyful day. [Refrain]
4 He comes again! O Zion, ere thou meet him,
make known to every heart his saving grace;
let none whom he hath ransomed fail to greet him,
through thy neglect, unfit to see his face. [Refrain] Topics: General Hymns Church/Fellowship/Mission Scripture: Psalm 67:2 Languages: English Tune Title: TIDINGS
