1 Good news and glad tidings, oh, spread it abroad!
Let praise and thanksgiving ascend up to God;
For Jesus, our Saviour, Redeemer and Friend,
Hath left His bright kingdom, His own to defend.

Refrain:
His blood now will cleanse us, from sin make us free;
Good news and glad tidings for you and for me.

2 Good news and glad tidings for souls tempest-tossed;
With Christ as your pilot, you cannot be lost;
Oh, trust in His promise, that never will fail,
As onward, still onward toward heaven you sail. [Refrain]

3 Good news and glad tidings, salvation is near!
Rejoice, all creations, Christ’s kingdom is here!
Oh, brother, benighted, take heed to the sound,
Good news and glad tidings, the lost has been found. [Refrain]
