We have a gospel to proclaim,
Good news for men in all the earth;
The gospel of a Saviour?s name,
We sing His glory, tell His worth.
Tell of His birth at Bethlehem,
Not in a royal house or hall
But in a stable dark and dim,
The Word made flesh, a light for all.
Tell of His death at Calvary,
Hated by those He came to save,
In lonely suffering on the cross,
For all He loved His life He gave.
Tell of that glorious Easter moon,
Empty the tomb, for He was free.
He broke the power of death and hell
That we might share His victory.
Tell of His reign at God?s right hand,
By all creation glorified,
He sends His Spirit on His Church,
To live for Him, the Lamb who died.
Now we rejoice to name Him King,
Jesus is Lord of all the earth,
This gospel message we proclaim,
We sing His glory, tell His worth.

Huddersfield Choral Society's 'We have a gospel to proclaim' is a hymn that summarizes the core events of the Christian faith: Jesus' birth, death, resurrection, and reign. The lyrics call believers to share the good news of salvation through Christ. It references the humble birth in Bethlehem, the sacrificial death on Calvary, the empty tomb on Easter, and Christ's exaltation at God's right hand. The song emphasizes the victory over sin and death and the sending of the Holy Spirit. It is a declaration of Jesus as Lord and an invitation to proclaim His glory.
