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
