LyicsZION, the marvellous story be telling,
The Son of the Highest, how lowly his birth!
The brightest of angels in glory excelling,
He stoops to redeem thee, he reigns upon earth!
Tell how he cometh, from nation to nation,
The heart-cheering news let the earth echo round;
How free to the sinner he offers salvation,
How his people with joy everlasting are crown'd.
Mortals, your homage be gratefully bringing,
And sweet, let the gladsome hosanna arise;
You angels, the full hallelujah be singing,
One chorus resounds through the earth and the skies.
