1. O spread the tidings ’round, wherever man is found,
Wherever human hearts
and human woes abound;
Let ev’ry Christian tongue
proclaim the joyful sound:
Our Lord is Lord of lords.
1-6

2. His name, the sweetest heard; His will redemption brings;
O Spread The Tidings ‘Round
Of lords, He is the Lord!
Divine, the living Word!
His name, the sweetest heard;
His will redemption brings;
O spread the tidings ’round,
wherever man is found–
The Lord is King of kings.

3. Lo, the great King of kings, with healing in His wings,
O Spread The Tidings ‘Round
Lo, the great King of kings,
with healing in His wings,
To ev’ry captive soul
a full deliv’rance brings;
And thru the vacant cells
the song of triumph rings;
Our Lord is King of kings.

Of lords, He is the Lord!

wherever man is found–
The Lord is King of kings.

5. O boundless love divine! How shall this tongue of mine
O Spread The Tidings ‘Round
O boundless love divine!
How shall this tongue of mine
To wond’ring mortals tell
the matchless grace divine–
That I, in earth’s decline
should in His image shine!
In Him, the Word of heav’n.

wherever man is found–
The Lord is King of kings.
