Lyrics

Let all the lost hear of Je­sus,
Out in the dark­ness as­tray,
Go tell the world of the Shep­herd,
Carry the news to­day.

Refrain

Tell out the won­der­ful sto­ry,
Tell of the love of the Sav­ior,
Tell how He came from the glo­ry,
Tell out the won­der­ful sto­ry.

Tell them that death has been van­quished,
Life is the gift of His grace;
Tell them the sup­per is rea­dy,
Bid them to take their place.

Refrain

Let all your fears be for­sak­en;
Throw your­self in­to the fray;
Look, they are bound for per­di­tion,
Show them the blood bought way.
