1.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.”2.Nations again in strife and commotion,Warnings by the way;Signs in the heavens, unerring omens,Herald the glorious day.Refrain:Hail Him the King of glory,Once the Lamb for sinners slain;Tell, tell the wondrous story,“Jesus comes to reign.”3.Children of God look up with rejoicing;Shout and sing His praise;Blessèd are they who, waiting and watching,Look for the dawning rays.Refrain:Hail Him the King of glory,Once the Lamb for sinners slain;Tell, tell the wondrous story,“Jesus comes to reign.”
