60. Glorious News

1 Carry the message to lands far away,
Glorious news! glorious news!
We have a Savior who’s living today,
Glorious, glorious news!
Living to save whosoever will come,
Living to welcome the wanderer home;
Send the glad word ringing over the foam,
Glorious, glorious news!

Refrain:
Tell the glad news, glorious news,
Carry the message to land far away!
Tell the glad news, glorious news,
We have a Savior who’s living today.

2 We have a Savior with mercy for all,
Glorious news! glorious news!
Wide as the world is His free loving call,
Glorious, glorious news!
Let all who hear send the message along,
Till other voices shall join in the song,
Swelling the praise of the glorified throng,
Glorious, glorious news! [Refrain]

3 Jesus will use us in spreading His word,
Glorious news! glorious news!
Not unto angels this honor conferred,
Glorious, glorious news!
We who have plung’d in the fountain of love,
Opened our hearts to the Heavenly Dove,
We can win jewels for mansions above,
Glorious, glorious news! [Refrain]
