English text
- 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:
- Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing,
- Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King!
- Messiah is King! Messiah is King!
- 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 hosannas arise;
- Ye angels, the full alleluias be singing;
- One chorus resound through the earth and the skies.
- Refrain.
Lyrics: William Augustus Mühlenberg, 1826.
