SONGS WE’VE A STORY TO TELL THE NATIONS

TELL THEM IN THE EAST AND IN THE WEST

SONG #943/922

SONG #930/587

We’ve a story to tell to the nations That shall turn their hearts to the right, A story of truth and mercy, A story of peace and light, A story of peace and light.

For the darkness shall turn to dawning, And the dawning to noonday bright, And Christ’s great Kingdom shall come to earth, The Kingdom of love and light.

We’ve a song to be sung to the nations That shall lift their hearts to the Lord, A song that shall conquer evil And shatter the spear and sword, And shatter the spear and sword.

We’ve a message to give to the nations, That the Lord who reigneth above Hath sent us His Son to save us, And show us that God is love, And show us that God is love.

Tell them in the east and in the west, Tell them of the one you love the best.

Tell them how to find the sweetest rest Leaning on the loving Savior’s breast.

Tell them all about the dear old Book, Tell them there is life just for a look; Let this banner be unfurled: Christ for the whole wide world.

To the beat of Army drums, make known That the Savior–King has sin o’erthrown; Tell the rich and poor, the sad and lone, Till His power to everyone is shown.

Tell it to the people you may meet, Tell it in the hall and in the street; Let this banner be unfurled: Christ for the whole wide world.

Tell them of the Baby in the manger laid, Sent from Heaven above; Tell them how for them He was a ransom paid, Just because of love.

Tell them with your lips and by your actions too, And with flag unfurled, Tell it out with a shout, tell it out with a shout: Christ for the whole wide world.

Tell it to the young and to the old, Tell them they may all be warriors bold, Tell them of the shepherd and the fold, Tell them of the heavenly harps of gold.

Tell it with a clarion voice so clear, Let the story ring out far and near, Let this banner be unfurled: Christ for the whole wide world.

We’ve a Savior to show to the nations Who the path of sorrow hath trod, That all of the world’s great peoples Might come to the truth of God, Might come to the truth of God.
