Go, Tell the Nations Christ Is King

Go

tell the na­tions Christ is king

His hands the world up­hold;

He guides each pla­net’s shin­ing ring

And spreads the cloud’s dark fold;

Go

cast the false gods in the dust

The id­ols tram­ple down

And place in Him your on­ly trust

For Je­sus wears the crown.

Go

tell the na­tions of the blood

On Cal­v’ry free­ly spilt

The heal­ing streams

the pre­cious flood

To wash away their guilt.

Tell them to trust no hu­man rites

That earth­ly gold is dross;

And yet to par­don God delights

Since Je­sus bore the cross.

Go

tell the na­tions of the hope

The joy by Je­sus giv’n

And bid the dark­ened eyes look up

Beyond the stars

to Heav’n.

Oh

let your hearts with love o’er­flow

Cross o’er the heav­ing tide

Till all the lands of earth shall know

The Crowned

once Cru­ci­fied.
