Lyrics

Gospel Herald, go pro­claim,
Over land ov­er main;
Speed the tid­ings far and near,
Preach the word that all may hear:
Every clime the world along,
Loudly Her­ald Gos­pel song,
Every clime the world along,
Loudly Her­ald Gospel song.

Hear the news so grand, sub­lime,
Earth, re­joice thro’ com­ing time;
Raise your notes, for Christ hath ris’n,
Alleluias ring to Heav’n;
Loud our an­thems we will sing,
Death is con­quered, Christ is King,
Loud our an­thems we will sing,
Death is con­quered, Christ is King.
