Pearls of Praise ‎#166

166. Tell the Good News

1 Tell the good news of a Savior’s birth,
Tell the good news, tell the good news;
Shout the glad tidings o’er all the earth,
Tell the good news today.
Tell the sweet story afar and near,
Tell of a Savior, so loving and dear,
Sing the sweet message where sinners may hear;
Tell the good news today.

Refrain:
Good news, good news,
Yes, shout the glad tidings o’er all the earth,
Good news, good news,
Good news of a Savior’s birth.

2 Sing of the Savior, re-echo his praise,
Tell the good news, tell the good news;
Songs of rejoicing triumphantly raise,
Tell the good news today.
Publish his goodness, rejoice in the Lord,
Lovingly tell of the truth in his word,
Sing of his mercy with sweetest accord;
Tell the good news today. [Refrain]

3 Tell the good news of a Savior and King,
Tell the good news, tell the good news;
Peace and goodwill to all men we sing,
Tell the good news today.
Tell how he suffered on Calvary,
Tell of the pardon he offers so free,
Tell of his pardon for you and for me;
Tell the good news today. [Refrain]
