Christ’s Everlasting Gospel

lyricist: Eliza Hewitt, 1920
Composer: James Fillmore

Christ’s ev­er­last­ing Gos­pel

Is ring­ing out again

Its mes­sage of sal­va­tion

Its peace

good will to men;

Tho’ sin has hurled its wea­pons

And ev­il hosts as­sailed

The Gos­pel of Christ Je­sus

Has ev­er­more pre­vailed.

Our king shall come in glo­ry

His con­quer­ing cross we hail!

The pow­er of His sal­va­tion

Shall nev­er

nev­er fail!

Sometimes the sky is dark­ened

And stormy clouds ap­pear

But still

be­yond the sha­dows

The light is bright and clear;

The God of truth has spok­en;

His word will nev­er fail;

The Gos­pel of Christ Je­sus

Shall more and more pre­vail.

The faith where­in is vic­to­ry

In Je­sus we pro­claim;

Tho’ earth­ly thrones may per­ish

Still lives Em­ma­nu­el’s name;

Our voic­es swell with tri­umph

Above earth’s threat­en­ing gales;

The Gos­pel of Christ Je­sus

Thru ev­ery age pre­vails.
