Verse 1
Tell it to every kindred and nation, Tell it far and near; Earth’s darkest night will fade with the dawning, Jesus will soon appear.
Refrain
Hail Him the King of glory, Once the Lamb for sinners slain; Tell, tell the wondrous story, “Jesus comes to reign.”
Verse 2
Nations again in strife and commotion, Warnings by the way; Signs in the heavens, unerring omens, Herald the glorious day.
Verse 3
Children of God look up with rejoicing; Shout and sing His praise; Blessed are they who, waiting and watching, Look for the dawning rays.
