Text: | Sion, the marvelous story be telling |
Author: | W. A. Muhlenberg |
Tune: | AVISON |
Chorus:
Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing,
Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King!
1 Sion, the marvelous story be telling,
The Son of the Highest, How lowly His birth!
The brightest archangel is glory excelling,
He stoops to redeem thee, He reigns upon earth: [Chorus]
2 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. [Chorus]
3 Mortals, your homage be gratefully bringing,
And sweet let the gladsome hosanna arise:
Ye angels, the full Alleluia be singing;
One chorus resound thro' the earth and the skies.
Chorus:
Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing,
Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King,
Messiah is King, Messiah is King.
