Good news! good news of a soul re­deemed,
A pe­ni­tent for­giv­en!
Good news! good news that an­oth­er friend
Is on the way to Hea­ven!

Refrain

Rejoice! rej­oice! there’s joy to­day
In the land be­yond the ri­ver;
Another gem for His dia­dem,
A star to shine for­ev­er.

Good news! good news that an­oth­er heart
Has learned re­demp­tion’s sto­ry;
Good news! good news that an­oth­er voice
Will sing His praise in glo­ry.

Refrain

Good news! good news that an­oth­er life
Will show the pow­er of Je­sus,
Will prove the might of the sav­ing grace
Which dai­ly, hour­ly frees us.

Refrain

Good news! good news that an­oth­er hand
Will pre­cious seed be sow­ing,
Another guide to lead stray­ing feet
Where liv­ing streams are flow­ing.
