Message of the King

lyricist: Birdie Bell, 1914
Composer: Nellie Bradshaw

Tell the Gos­pel sto­ry ev­ery­where you go;

Bear its light and glo­ry to the haunts of woe;

Hearts will give it wel­come

life and joy ’twill bring

Story of sal­va­tion

mes­sage of the King.

Ever bless­èd sto­ry

tell it o’er and o’er

Till its words of glo­ry sound from shore to shore;

Thro’ the whole cre­ation let the tid­ings ring

Story of sal­va­tion

mes­sage of the King.

Tell the pre­cious sto­ry

till all strife shall cease

Bright with hope and glo­ry may its pow­er in­crease;

Souls that dwell in bond­age hear the news you bring

Story of re­demp­tion

mes­sage of the King.

Tell the tender st­ory—sin and grief ab­ound;

Point to realms of glo­ry souls in dark­ness found;

One has come from Heav­en end­less life to bring

Story of the Savi­or

mes­sage of the King.
