Hymns of the Lutheran Church

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.
