Lyrics

Shout the tid­ings of sal­va­tion,
Send the Gos­pel’s joy­ous sound,
Till the pre­cious in­vi­ta­tion
Spread to earth’s re­mot­est bound.

Refrain

Spread the news, the glad good news,
From the ris­ing to the set­ting of the sun,
Till the na­tions come and be­fore the throne,
The great Re­deem­er own.

Shout the tid­ings of sal­va­tion
To the thou­sands near your home,
Till your own be­lov­èd n­ation
To the feet of Je­sus come.

Refrain

Shout the tid­ings of sal­va­tion—
See the na­tions press your shore—
Sound the Gos­pel in­vi­ta­tion
To the hea­then at your door.

Refrain

Shout the tid­ings of sal­va­tion
Till the na­tions own their king;
Till in joy­ous ex­ul­ta­tion,
Every vale and mount shall sing.
