O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling
To tell to all the world that God is light;
That He who made all nations is not willing
One soul should perish lost in shades of night!
Proclaim to ev'ry tongue and nation
That God, in whom they live and move, is love:
Tell how he stooped to save his lost creation, And died on earth that all might live above.
Publish glad tidings, Tidings of peace, Tidings of Jesus, Tidings of redemption and release.
