Author: Muhlenberg Hymnal: Calvary Songs #4 (1875) Hymnal Title: Calvary Songs First Line: Zion, the marvelous story be telling Refrain First Line: Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing Lyrics: Refrain:
Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing;
Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King.
1 Zion, the marvelous story be telling,
The Son of the Highest, how lowly his birth;
The brightest archangel in glory excelling,
He stoops to redeem thee, he reigns upon earth. [Refrain]
2 Tell how he cometh; from nation to nation,
The heart-cheering news let the earth echo round;
How free to the faithful he offers salvation!
How his people with joy everlasting are crowned! [Refrain]
3 Mortals, your homage be gratefully bringing,
And sweet let the gladsome hosanna arise;
Ye angels, the full hallelujah be singing;
One chorus resound thro' the earth and the skies.
Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing;
Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King,
Messiah is King, Messiah is King. Languages: English Tune Title: [Zion, the marvelous story be telling]
Shout the Glad Tidings
