259. I saw a mighty angel fly

1 I saw a mighty angel fly;
To earth he bent his way,
A message bearing from on high,
To cheer the sons of day.

2 Truth is the tidings which he bears—
The Gospel’s joyful sound,
To calm our doubts, to chase our fears,
And make our joys abound.

3 He cries, and with a mighty voice,
Ye nations, lend an ear;
And isles and continents rejoice;
The great Redeemer’s near.

4 He cries, let every tongue attend,
And thrones and empires all,
Fear God, and make the Lord your friend,
The King, the Lord of all.

5 Fear God, and worship Him who made
The heavens, earth and sea;
Fear him on whom your sins were laid—
Who died to make you free.
