Its message of salvation, its peace, goodwill 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 conqu'ring cross we hail!
The pow'r 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 vict'ry in Jesus we proclaim,
Tho' earthly thrones may perish still lives Emmanuel's name;
Our voices swell with triumph, above earth's threat'ning gales,
The Gospel of Christ Jesus thro' ev'ry age prevails: [Refrain] Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Commission Spreading the Gospel Scripture: Matthew 24:14 Languages: English Tune Title: CHRIST'S EVERLASTING GOSPEL
