81*. Let All Who Know the Joyful Sound
8,8,6.
by T. Kelly
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.
“And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:10-11)
“He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” (1 John 4:8)
That all who in the Son believe,
Shall never perish, but receive
No condemnation e’er shall know,
From death to life they pass below,
’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,
Let all who know our God rejoice,
Praise Him in songs with cheerful voice,
Let sinners too take up the strain,
Exalt the Lamb for sinners slain,
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!
“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” (Revelation 22:20)
