Lyrics

Send out the tid­ings, let the an­them ring,
Tell to all na­tions that the Lord is king;
Empty the gloomy pri­son, past is night,
Now He is ris­en in­to light.

Refrain (Girls)

Then let the tid­ings ring from to shore to shore,
Jesus is ris’n for aye.

Boys

O sing the song of joy,
Death can no long­er de­stroy,

All

Its pow­er has passed away.
Send out the tid­ings, let the an­them ring,
Tell to all na­tions that the Lord is king;
Jesus is ris­en, let the tid­ings swell,
He con­quered the grave and van­quished hell.

Send out the tid­ings from the si­lent grave,
Jesus is ris­en sin­ful men to save,
For sin He suf­fered, died and rose again,
Strong and tri­um­phant sing the strain.

Refrain

Send out the tid­ings all the na­tions o’er,
Let all the peo­ple crown Him ev­er­more;
Come now and hail the Vic­tor who was slain,
Lo! He is ris­en, crowned to reign.
