Lyrics

Shout the tidings of sal­va­tion,
Send the Gos­pel’s joyous sound,
Till the precious invitation
Spread to earth’s remotest bound.

Refrain

Spread the news, the glad good news,
From the rising to the setting of the sun,
Till the nations come and before the throne,
The great Re­deem­er own.

Shout the tidings of sal­va­tion
To the thousands near your home,
Till your own belovèd nation
To the feet of Je­sus come.

Refrain

Shout the tidings of sal­va­tion—
See the nations press your shore—
Sound the Gos­pel invitation
To the heathen at your door.

Refrain

Shout the tidings of sal­va­tion
Till the nations own their king;
Till in joyous exultation,
Every vale and mount shall sing.
