Shout the tidings of salvation,

To the agéd and the young;

Till the precious invitation

Waken every heart and tongue.

CHORUS.

Send the sound

The earth around,

From the rising to the setting of the sun,

Till each gathering crowd

Shall proclaim aloud,

The glorious work is done.

2 Shout the tidings of salvation,

O’er the prairies on the west;

Till each gathering congregation,

With the gospel sound is blest.

3 Shout the tidings of salvation,

Mingling with the ocean’s roar;

Till the ships of every nation,

Bear the news from shore to shore.

4 Shout the tidings of salvation

O’er the islands of the sea;

Till, in humble adoration,

All to Christ shall bow the knee.
