81*. Let All Who Know the Joyful Sound

8,8,6.
by T. Kelly
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.
“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)
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
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.
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans 8:1)
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” (John 5:24)
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.
“Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:9)
“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.” (1 Corinthians 1:30)
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!
