12752. Spread The Tidings

1 To all nations far and near,
Go ye forth without a fear,
Spread the tidings, the joyful tidings.
Tell how Christ for all has died,
For our sins was crucified;
Spread the tidings, the joyful tidings.

Refrain:
He a ransom is for every nation,
Spread the tidings, the joyful tidings;
He has brought to all the great salvation,
Spread the tidings, the joyful tidings.

2 Hear the blessèd Master’s call,
Hear Him say to one and all,
Spread the tidings, the joyful tidings;
I will be your faithful friend,
I’ll be with you to the end;
Spread the tidings, the joyful tidings. [Refrain]

3 Bring your treasures to the Lord,
Be ye faithful to His word,
Spread the tidings, the joyful tidings,
’Till all lands from sea to sea
To our God shall bow the knee,
Spread the tidings, the joyful tidings. [Refrain]
