Zion, the marvelous story be telling

William A. Mühlenberg

Refrain:
Shout the glad tidings,
Exultingly sing;
Jerusalem triumphs,
Messiah is King.

1 Zion, the marvelous story be telling,
The Son of the Highest, how lowly His birth!
The brightest archangel in glory excelling,
He stoops to redeem Thee, He reigns upon earth. [Refrain]

2 Tell how He cometh; from nation to nation,
The heart-cheering news let the earth echo round:
How free to the faithful He offers salvation,
His people with joy everlasting are crowned. [Refrain]

3 Mortals, your homage be gratefully bringing,
And sweet let the gladsome hosanna arise:
Ye angels, the full Hallelujah be singing;
One chorus resound through the earth and the skies. 

Refrain:
Shout the glad tidings,
Exultingly sing;
Jerusalem triumphs,
Messiah is King,
Messiah is King,
Messiah is King!
