Tell it to every kindred and nation,
Tell it far and near;
Earth?s darkest night will fade with the dawning,
Jesus will soon appear.
Refrain
Hail Him the King of glory,
Once the Lamb for sinners slain;
Tell, tell the wondrous story,
Jesus comes to reign.
Nations again in strife and commotion,
Warnings by the way;
Signs in the heavens, unerring omens,
Herald the glorious day.
Refrain
Children of God look up with rejoicing;
Shout and sing His praise;
Bless�d are they who, waiting and watching,
Look for the dawning rays.
Refrain
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
the Lord mighty in battle.
