Good News (Hewitt)

Good news! good news of a soul re­deemed

A pe­ni­tent for­giv­en!

Good news! good news that an­oth­er friend

Is on the way to Heav­en!

Rejoice! rej­oice! there’s joy to­day

In the land be­yond the riv­er;

Another gem for His dia­dem

A star to shine for­ev­er.

Good news! good news that an­oth­er heart

Has learned re­demp­tion’s sto­ry;

Good news! good news that an­oth­er voice

Will sing His praise in glo­ry.

Good news! good news that an­oth­er life

Will show the pow­er of Je­sus

Will prove the might of the sav­ing grace

Which dai­ly

hour­ly frees us.

Good news! good news that an­oth­er hand

Will pre­cious seed be sow­ing

Another guide to lead stray­ing feet

Where liv­ing streams are flow­ing.
