The Little Minstrel ‎#53

53. Shout the tidings

1 Shout the tidings of salvation,
To the aged and the young;
Till the precious invitation,
Waken every heart and tongue.

Chorus:
Send the sound
The earth around,
From the rising to the setting of the sun,
Till each gath'ring crowd
Shall proclaim aloud,
The glorious work is done,
The glorious work is done.

2 Shout the tidings of salvation,
O'er the prairies of the West;
Till each gathering congregation,
With the gospel sound is blest. [Chorus]

3 Shout the tidings of salvation
Mingling with the ocean's roar;
Till the ships of every nation,
Bear the news from shore to shore. [Chorus]

4 Shout the tidings of salvation,
O'er the islands of the sea;
Till, in humble adoration,
All to Christ shall bow the knee. [Chorus]
