1 O Zion haste, your mission high fulfilling,
to tell to all the world that God is Light;
that he who made all nations is not willing
one soul should perish, lost in shades of night:
Refrain:
Publish glad tidings;
tidings of peace;
tidings of Jesus,
redemption and release.
2 Proclaim to every people, tongue and nation
that God, in Whom they live and move, is love:
tell how he stooped to save his lost creation,
and died on earth that we might live above. [Refrain]
3 He comes again! O Zion, ere you meet him,
make known to every heart his saving grace;
let none whom he has ransomed fail to greet him,
through your neglect, unfit to see his face. [Refrain]
