Representative lyrics

English (Original Language)

1. Ye chosen Twelve, to you are givenThe keys of this last ministry,To every nation under heaven,To every nation under heaven,From land to land, from sea to sea.

2. First to the Gentile sound the newsThroughout Columbia’s happy land,And then, before it reach the Jews,And then, before it reach the Jews,Prepare on Europe’s shores to stand.

3. Let Europe’s towns and cities hearThe gospel tidings angels bring;Let Gentile nations far and near,Let Gentile nations far and nearPrepare their hearts his praise to sing.

4. Both Africa’s and India’s plainsMust hear the tidings as they rollWhere darkness rules and sorrow reigns,Where darkness rules and sorrow reignsAnd tyranny has held control.

5. Give ear, ye isles in every zone,For every land must hear the sound!And tongues and nations long unknown,And tongues and nations long unknownSince they were lost shall soon be found.

6. And then again shall Asia hear,Where angels first the news revealed,Eternity the record bear,Eternity the record bear,And earth a joyful tribute yield.

7. The nations catch the pleasing sound,And Jew and Gentile swell the strain.Hosanna o’er the earth resound,Hosanna o’er the earth resound;Messiah then will come to reign.
