Happy Tidings

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1882
Composer: John Sweney

Tidings

hap­py tid­ings

Hark! hark! the sound!

Hear the joy­ful ec­ho

Through the world re­sound;

Christ the Lord pro­claims them

Hear and heed the call

Come

ye starv­ing ones that per­ish

Room

room for all.

Whosoever ask­eth

Jesus will re­ceive;

Whosoever thirst­eth

Jesus will re­lieve.

See the liv­ing wa­ters

Flowing full and free;

O the bless­èd who­so­ev­er

That means me.

Tidings

hap­py tid­ings

Hark! hark! they say

Do not slight the warn­ing

Come

O come to­day.

Christ

our lov­ing Sav­ior

Still re­peats the call—

Come

ye wea­ry

hea­vy la­den

Room

room for all.

Tidings

hap­py tid­ings

Hark! hark! again!

Rushing o’er the mount­ain

Sweeping o’er the plain;

Onward goes the mes­sage

Tis the Sav­ior’s call

Come

for ev­ery­thing is rea­dy

Room

room for all.
