1 Ring out the tidings in notes loud and clear,
There is a brother, the welcome may hear,
Some sin-sick wand’rer may catch the glad sound,
That leadeth to mansions where pleasures abound.
Refrain:
Ring out the tidings,
Ring out the tidings,
Warning of sin and the grave;
Ring out the tidings,
Ring out the tidings,
Jesus is mighty to save.
2 Ring out the tidings, salvation proclaim,
Call to the leper, the blind and the lame,
Ring out the story, let wave after wave
Be telling of Jesus, the mighty to save. [Refrain]
3 Ring out the tidings, o’er mountain and plain,
Warning the sinner of sorrow and pain;
Tell him of Jesus, who rose from the grave,
The King of the nations, the mighty to save. [Refrain]
