265. Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing

1 Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing;
Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King!
Zion the marvelous story be telling,
The Son of the Highest, how lowly his birth,
The brightest archangel in glory excelling,
He stoops to redeem thee, He reigns upon earth.

Chorus:
Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing,
Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King!
Messiah is King, Messiah is King.

2 Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing;
Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King!
Tell how he cometh, from nation to nation,
The heart-cheering news let the earth echo round.
How free to the faithful he offers salvation,
How His people with joy everlasting are crowned. [Chorus]

3 Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing,
Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King!
Mortals your homage be gratefully bringing,
And sweet let the gladsome hosanna arise;
Ye angels, the full hallelujah be singing,
One chorus resound thro' the earth and the skies. [Chorus]
