Refrain
Shout the glad
tidings, exultingly sing,
Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King!
Zion, the marvelous story be
telling,
The Son of the Highest, how lowly His
birth!
The brightest archangel in glory
excelling,
He stoops to redeem thee, He reigns
upon earth.
Refrain
Tell how He cometh; from nation to
nation
The heart cheering news let the earth
echo round;
How free to the faithful He offers
salvation,
His people with joy everlasting are
crowned.
Refrain
Mortals, your homage be gratefully
bringing,
And sweet let the gladsome hosannas
arise;
Ye angels, the full alleluias be
singing;
One chorus resound through the earth
and the skies.
Refrain
Messiah is King!
