PUBLISH GLAD TIDINGS
1. O Zion, haste,
your mission high fulfilling,
To tell to all the
world that God is Light;
That He who made
all nations is not willing
One soul should
perish, lost in shades of night.
Refrain
Publish glad
tidings, tidings of peace;
Tidings of Jesus,
redemption and release.
2. Behold how many
thousands still are lying
Bound in the
darksome prison-house of sin,
With none to tell
them of the Saviour's dying,
Or of the life He
died for them to win.
3. 'Tis thine to
save from peril of perdition
The souls for whom
the Lord His life laid down,
Beware lest,
slothful to fulfill thy mission,
Thou lose one jewel
that should deck His crown.
4. Proclaim to
every people, tongue, and nation
That God, in whom
they move and live is love;
Tell how He stooped
to save His lost creation,
And died on earth
that men might live above.
5. Give of thy sons
to bear the message glorious,
Give of thy wealth
to speed them on their way;
Pour out thy soul for
them in prayer victorious;
And all thou
spendest Jesus will repay.
6. He comes again,
O Zion ere thou meet Him,
Make known to every
heart His saving grace;
Let none whom He
hath ransomed fail to greet Him;
Through thy neglect
unfit to see His face.
