Christian Endeavor Hymns ‎#60

60. Send Out the Glad Tidings

1 Send out the glad tidings, salvation is free;
Redemption was purchased on Calvary’s tree
For you and for me, and for all who believe:
“There’s life for a look”—only look and receive.

Refrain:
Send out the glad tidings, eternity’s near,
Sound the call of redemption, so sweet and so clear;
Not for one, but for all, Jesus came to atone,
And we thro’ His mercy draw nigh to the throne.

2 Send out the glad tidings, no longer delay,
For millions are dying, who know not the way;
Who know not that Christ, the Redeemer, was slain,
That they thro’ His death might salvation obtain. [Refrain]

3 Send out the glad tidings, the story repeat
From cellar and house-top, thro’ alley and street;
To those who have wandered far off into shame,
O tell them there’s pardon and peace in His name. [Refrain]

4 Send out the glad tidings—O hasten the day,
When men of all nations shall Jesus obey;
When banners triumphant are widely unfurled,
Announcing His kingdom, the theme of the world. [Refrain]
