100. Let All Who Know the Joyful Sound

8.8.6.D.
1
Let all who know the joyful sound,
 
With gladness send the tidings round,
 
And tell that God is love;
 
That God so loved the world, He gave
 
His own dear Son the world to save;
 
God’s message from above.
2
That all who in the Son believe,
 
Shall never perish, but receive
 
Life endless and divine;
 
No condemnation e’er shall know,
 
From death to life they pass below,
 
And then in glory shine.
3
’Tis not of works: let no man boast,
 
Save in His name who saves the lost — 
 
The Lord our Righteousness!
 
Poor sinner, now from working cease,
 
And claim from God a blood-bought peace,
 
And Jesus, Lord, confess.
4
Let all who know our God rejoice,
 
Praise Him in songs with cheerful voice,
 
And live to Him alone;
 
Let sinners too take up the strain,
 
Exalt the Lamb for sinners slain,
 
The coming Savior own.
5
The Spirit and the bride say, Come!
 
Let him that heareth, too, say, Come!
 
Whoever thirsts may come;
 
Water of life is freely given
 
Till Christ the Lord descends from heaven;
 
Lord Jesus, quickly come!
