We've a story to tell to the nations,
That shall turn their hearts to the right,
A story of truth and sweetness,
A story of peace and light:
For the darkness shall turn to dawning,
And the dawning to noon-day bright,
And Christ's great kingdom
shall come on earth
The kingdom of love and light.
We've a song to be sung
to the nations,
That shall lift their hearts to the Lord;
A song that shall conquer evil,
And shatter the spear and sword:
For the darkness shall turn to dawning,
And the dawning to noon-day bright,
And Christ's great kingdom
shall come on earth
The kingdom of love and light.
We've a message to give
to the nations,
That the Lord who reigneth above
Hath sent us His Son to save us,
And show us that God is love:
For the darkness shall turn to dawning,
And the dawning to noon-day bright,
And Christ's great kingdom
shall come on earth
The kingdom of love and light.
We've a Saviour to show
to the nations,
Who the path of sorrow has trod,
That all of the world's great peoples
Might come to the truth of God:
For the darkness shall turn to dawning,
And the dawning to noon-day bright,
And Christ's great kingdom
shall come on earth
The kingdom of love and light.
