Lyrics

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.
