Sound the gospel of grace abroad,
There's life in the risen Lord.
Spread the news of the gift of God,
There's life in the risen Lord.
God above desires it!
Sinful man requires it!

Refrain:
Let the news of the gospel sound,
There's life, There's life,
There's life in the risen Lord!

All by nature are doomed to die,
So saith the holy Word;
Welcome therefore the joyful cry,
There's life in the risen Lord.
Welcome news of gladness—
Antidote for sadness.

Saints, apostles, and prophets,
all Hath published with one accord,
This deliv'rance ance from the fall—
This life in the risen Lord.
Glory be to Jesus
Who from bondage frees us.

Pardon, power and perfect peace
The words of this life afford;
Never then let the tidings cease
Of life in the risen Lord.
Open wide the portal,
Unto ev'ry mortal.
