Lyrics

Someone must tell the glad sto­ry,
The bless­èd old sto­ry so true,
Of love and of won­der­ful glo­ry,
O say will that some­one be you?

Refrain

O say will that some­one be you?
O say will that some­one be you?
To tell the glad story of grace and of glo­ry,
O say will that some­one be you?
O say will that some­one be you?
O say will that some­one be you?
To tell the glad story of grace and of glo­ry,
O say will that some­one be you?

Someone must tell of a Sav­ior,
To others across the deep blue,
Now waiting His love and His fa­vor,
O say will that some­one be you?

Refrain

Someone must tell of the bless­ing
That comes with each morn­ing so new,
The good­ness of Je­sus con­fess­ing,
O say will that some­one be you?

Refrain

Someone must tell of sal­va­tion,
Someone must to Je­sus be true,
And carry; to each wait­ing na­tion
The sto­ry that al­ways is new.
