Speed the Tidings

Verse 1

Speed the tidings o'er the ocean, Where the stormy billows roll; Bid the trumpet of the Gospel Sound aloud from pole to pole.

Chorus

Speed the tidings, joyful tidings, To the isles beyond the sea; Tell the story of redemption Thro' a Saviour, full and free.

Verse 2

Speed the tidings, do not linger, Lest the moments wing their flight; Call the nations from their idols, Out of darkness into light.

Verse 3

Oh, the promised day is coming, When the children from afar Shall with us proclaim the glory Of a Bright and Morning Star.
