The Lord redeemeth the soul of His servants: and none of them that trust in Him shall be desolate.
Psalm 34:22
Words: W. J. Herbert Hogan, in Joyful Praise, by Charles Gabriel (Cincinnati, Ohio: Jennings & Graham, 1902), number 57.
Music: Nova Scotia Charles H. Gabriel (🔊 pdf nwc). Some hymnals give the composer as H. A. Henry, one of Gabriel’s pseudonyms.

Tell it with gladness, speak of it ever,
Jesus redeemeth all who believe;
Those who, repentant, pray for salvation,
Jesus will freely hear and forgive.
Refrain
Tell it with gladness, speak of it ever,
Jesus redeemeth all who believe;
Those who, repentant, pray for salvation,
Jesus will freely hear and forgive.
No one so lowly, none so unholy,
Unto the Savior prayeth in vain;
Only accept, believe Him, and surely
Jesus will wholly cleanse every stain.
Refrain
Come all ye weary, lost and forsaken,
Here may your spirits peacefully rest;
Come, then, believing, trusting in Jesus,
Life will grow brighter, richer, and blest.
Refrain
