Spread the Tidings (Ricks)

To all na­tions far and near

Go ye forth with­out a fear

Spread the tid­ings

the joy­ful tid­ings.

Tell how Christ for all has died

For our sins was cru­ci­fied;

Spread the tid­ings

the joy­ful tid­ings.

He a ran­som is for ev­ery na­tion

Spread the tid­ings

the joy­ful tid­ings;

He has brought to all the great sal­va­tion

Spread the tid­ings

the joyful tid­ings.

Hear the bless­èd Mas­ter’s call

Hear Him say to one and all

Spread the tid­ings

the joy­ful tid­ings;

I will be your faith­ful friend

I’ll be with you to the end;

Spread the tid­ings

the joy­ful tid­ings.

Bring your trea­sures to the Lord

Be ye faith­ful to His word

Spread the tid­ings

the joy­ful tid­ings

’Till all lands from sea to sea

To our God shall bow the knee

Spread the tid­ings

the joyful tid­ings.
