Blessèd News

Bless�d news from Heav�n above,
Send it forth on wings of love,
O'er the mighty ocean wave,
Jesus died, the lost to save.

Refrain

Whosoever will believe,
Shall eternal life receive;
Sound the Gospel call,
There is room for all.
Whosoever will believe,
Shall eternal life receive;
Sound the Gospel call:
There is room for all.

Bless�d news, O let it roll,
Quickly on to ev'ry soul,
Over land and over sea,
To the world redemption free.

Refrain

Bless�d news for those that stray,
On the mountain far away,
Lo, the tender Shepherd's voice,
Bids them now in Him rejoice.

Refrain

Bless�d news for souls oppressed,
Come to Jesus, come and rest;
Turn to Him and He'll forgive,
To the Cross, O look and live.

Refrain
