Let all who know the joyful sound,
With gladness send the tidings round,
And tell that God is love;
That God so loved the world, He gave
His own dear Son the world to save;
God’s message from above.

That all who in the Son believe,
Shall never perish, but receive
Life endless and divine;
No condemnation e’er shall know,
From death to life they pass below,
And then in glory shine.

‘Tis not of works: let no man boast,
Save in His name who saves the lost—
The Lord our Righteousness!
Poor sinner, now from working cease,
And claim from God a blood-bought peace,
And Jesus, Lord, confess.

Let all who know our God rejoice,
Praise Him in songs with cheerful voice,
And live to Him alone;
Let sinners too take up the strain,
Exalt the Lamb for sinners slain,
The coming Saviour own.

The Spirit and the bride say, Come!
Let him that heareth, too, say, Come!
Whoever thirsts may come;
Water of life is freely given
Till Christ the Lord descends from heaven;
Lord Jesus, quickly come!
