200 Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing;
1 Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing;
Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King.
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.
Shout the glad tidings, etc.
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.
Shout the glad tidings, etc.
3 Mortals, your homage be gratefully bringing,
And sweet let the gladsome Hosanna arise:
Ye angels, the full Hallelujah be singing:
One chorus resound through the earth and the skies.
Shout the glad tidings, etc.
