12168. Christ's Everlasting Gospel

1 Christ’s everlasting Gospel
Is ringing out again
Its message of salvation,
Its peace, good will to men;
Tho’ sin has hurled its weapons,
And evil hosts assailed,
The Gospel of Christ Jesus
Has evermore prevailed.

Refrain:
Our king shall come in glory
His conquering cross we hail!
The power of His salvation
Shall never, never fail!

2 Sometimes the sky is darkened,
And stormy clouds appear,
But still, beyond the shadows,
The light is bright and clear;
The God of truth has spoken;
His word will never fail;
The Gospel of Christ Jesus
Shall more and more prevail. [Refrain]

3 The faith wherein is victory
In Jesus we proclaim;
Tho’ earthly thrones may perish,
Still lives Emmanuel’s name;
Our voices swell with triumph,
Above earth’s threatening gales;
The Gospel of Christ Jesus
Thru every age prevails. [Refrain]
