The brightest archangel in glory excelling, Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing; 2 Tell how He cometh; from nation to nation, The heart-cheering news let the earth echo round; How free to the faithful He offers salvation, How His people with joy everlasting are Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing; 3 Mortals, your homage be gratefully bring ing, And sweet let the gladsome hosanna arise; Ye angels, the full hallelujah be singing; One chorus resound through the earth and the skies. Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing; William Augustus Muhlenburg 1826 |
