632. O Spread the Tidings 'Round

1 O spread the tidings 'round, wherever man is found,
Wherever human hearts and human woes abound;
Let ev'ry Christian tongue proclaim the joyful sound:
Our Lord is Lord of lords.

Refrain:
Of lords, He is the Lord! Divine, the living Word!
His name, the sweetest heard; His will redemption brings;
O spread the tidings 'round, wherever man is found -
The Lord is King of kings.

2 Lo, the great King of kings, with healing in His wings,
To ev'ry captive soul a full deliv'rance brings;
And thru the vacant cells the song of triumph rings;
Our Lord is King of kings. [Refrain]

3 O boundless love divine! how shall this tongue of mine
To wond'ring mortals tell the matchless grace divine -
That I, in earth's decline should in His image shine!
In Him, the Word of heav'n. [Refrain]
