Go tell the glad tidings to sinners astray,
Go quickly, my brother, O do not delay;
You've tasted the glory which now is thine own,
This joy of thy bosom to others make known.

Chorus:
Go tell the glad tidings, go tell them again,
Souls that are dying may hear the refrain;
Go speak to them gently and bid them come in,
In from the highways and hedges of sin.

Go tell the glad tidings, go tell them today,
Some soul may be ready our Lord to obey.
Go point to the fountain that cleanses from sin,
And urge you the needy to boldly step in.

Go tell the glad tidings and count not the cost,
Behold the condition of souls that are lost;
Go speak of God's mercy, constrain them to see,
The way of salvation thro' Jesus must be.
