Author: Adam Dan Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home (2nd ed.) #320 (1928) Meter: 11.8.11.8 Lyrics: 1 We publish the greatest of tidings abroad
That man through the ages have heard;
It came from our heavenly Father and God
Through Jesus, our Savior and Lord.
2 We spread it abroad through a world full of strife,
A call to the hastening race.
The message awakens the dying to life
And strengthens faint hearts with its grace.
3 When hope is discouraged, the heart in despair,
And joy like a wreck on the sea,
It opens the eye to God's merciful care
And forces the darkness to flee.
4 And art thou distressed with the fleeting delight
Of earth and its vaunting display,
And seekest thou truly the heavenly light
That changes thy night into day:
5 Embrace, then, the word that on thee shall bestow
The treasure no moth can destroy.
It save thee from death and restores thee to grow
In courage, in hope, and in joy.
6 We publish the greatest of tidings abroad;
It does all our sorrow allay,
It helps us ascend to our Father and God
And unto His beautiful day. Topics: Spiritual Songs Work and Mission Languages: English Tune Title: [We publish the greatest of tidings abroad]
